BEING GODLY?

What is being godly? How do you define "godly" or "godliness"?

According to dictionary.com, the word "godly" means:
1. Having/showing great reverence for God; pious.
2. Divine.

So what do you think?

Can someone explain from the Bible point of view?

Someone said to me that being godly is by living a life that revolves around God, it's not meant by the things we do at church (eg. bible study, mission work, ministries etc.) which alot of people are trapped into viewing it that way. Though there's no doubt that people who are godly will do those things because of their love for God and His people. But it isn't the other way around, not because we do these things then we are being godly.

For me anyway, the core test of our godliness (how much our life revolves around Him; that includes every aspect of life - words, deeds, thoughts, etc.) is in the very own privacy of our home. It is as much of a challenge for me as it should be for all other christians. Nobody knows, only we do, and even more... does God above.

Should all christians be godly? Oh yea! No discussion FULL STOP.

*I am still far from Christ likeness... so Lord help me to be more like you and live in reverence to You in every detail of my life.*

Not easy.... but striving on!
