Today we will look at godliness as another catalyst for our fruitfulness as given in anchor scripture. The word godliness is translated from the Greek word eusebia which means godly piety. It concerns the outward reflections of your inward devotion and reverence for God. This is how your love for God shows on the outside. These are things people can observe and conclude on your commitment and love for God. Examples would be your regular attendance to church or prayer meetings or studying the Word. Luke 4:16 tells us about Jesus, "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read". It was His custom to attend the synagogue meetings. The Living Bibles says, "When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on Saturday, and stood up to read the Scriptures." He wouldn't just miss those gatherings anyhow. It was His way of life and that was a mark of godliness.

There are good traditions you must cultivate and build in your life which reflect your devotion to the Lord. Don't be a man or woman without good and godly traditions or culture. We see the same in the life of Apostle Paul. Acts 17:2 informs us, "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures". This was Paul's usual practice. Don't just miss church gatherings anyhow. That you have traveled away from home shouldn't be an excuse, make effort to find where you can gather with your brethren unless if it's literally not there. If you are a parent, train your children in this culture and don't tolerate lame excuses. Develop a culture of reading and studying the scriptures daily in your life. This daily devotional helps you cultivate and abide in this godly culture. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 BSB enjoins us, "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter". It is vital to develop and cling to godly traditions. Your life in its outward show is designed by God to be a testimony of the kingdom of God to your world.
