1 Timothy 4:7 NLT Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.
Being godly is not something that comes automatically after being born-again. Being godly takes training. It’s not training for the first couple of years after salvation, but it’s a lifetime of training.
Who’s our Trainer? The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will train us to be godly. He’s the One who will instruct us to apologize to our spouses. He’s the One to tell us not to watch that movie. He will tell us to give our time, money, or energy for the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit will shape us into being godly.
Don’t try to be godly on your own or come up with a form of godliness using man-made traditions as a template of godliness (2 Tim. 3:5). Get in God’s word and follow the Holy Spirit to be godly.
