What does the Bible say about life and godliness?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that God graciously provides all believers need for true life and godliness through the knowledge of Christ, calling them to trust, obey, and grow in holiness by his power. Second Peter 1:3-4 says that God grants his people precious promises and equips them to escape sinful corruption and share in a renewed life. This life begins with faith in Christ, confessed openly, as Romans 10:9 teaches, and it is sustained by faith that seeks God, as Hebrews 11:6 declares. Scripture thoroughly equips believers for every good work, according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, while God’s blessing in Christ and sovereign calling give confidence that godliness rests ultimately on his grace.
