The Mystery Of Godliness
Thursday, March 12, 2026Key Verse
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1 Timothy 3:16).
Text — 1 Timothy 3:14-16
Message
Godliness is simply being like God. It is the continuous act of conforming to His word, His ways, and His will. It is an act of a man living the life of God through divine revelation and empowerment (John 1:12). When the character and nature of God find expression in a person’s life, godliness is at work. To many, this may seem unimaginable – a mystery – yet it is a reality for those who receive the revelation of godliness. It is a mystery because, from a human perspective, it is difficult to comprehend the union between divinity and humanity in an individual.
Our scriptural reference affirms this reality, as seen when the Son of God became the Son of Man. Similarly, Saul of Tarsus underwent a radical transformation into godliness after encountering Jesus on his way to Damascus. Godliness can be a consistent experience in the life of any young person who receives Christ and remains steadfast in Him. Godliness brings great rewards, both in this life and in eternity. Its benefits are immeasurable because “… godliness is profitable unto all things…” (1 Timothy 4:8).
