GODLINESS This week, it is time to break a bad habit or begin a good one. Try forgiveness in place of bitterness, praises in place of curses, and restraint in place of indulgence. Praying for fellow Christians around the world is one way of increasing our gratitude for the things we have. You can check your progress at the end of the week. Commit you intentions this week to God in prayer.

Add godliness to perseverance (v. 6). The Greek word for godliness means “godly, pious, or devout.” Godliness cannot be manufactured. We cannot merely pretend to be godly. The quality of godliness comes from God himself. God must give that quality of life to us. We receive it as we die to self and live for God and as we allow the Spirit to live within us. The fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) are attributes of the character of God. The more we are possessed by God, the more we will act like Him and the more His character will be revealed in our lives. Practicing godliness may seem an intimidating task, but Jesus called us to be perfect and mature because our Heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48). Our job is to try to model God’s character albeit imperfectly. God’s grace covers our failures; we just need to keep trusting and trying.

week five theme godliness

第五周的主題

虔敬

本周是戒掉一個壞習慣或養成一個好習慣的時候，試著讓寬恕取代你 心中的怨恨，讚美取代詛咒，節制取代縱容。為世上其他的基督徒祈 禱可以幫助增強我們的感恩之心。在這周的末了，你可以檢視自己的 進度。請將你本周的目標交託給上帝。 「忍耐加上虔敬」（第六節）。希臘語虔敬的意思是「有上帝的像、 虔誠、敬畏」，虔敬是不能偽造出來的，我們不能假裝得很虔敬。這 品格是從上帝那裡得來的，也只有上帝能將它賜給我們。當我們向罪 死、為主而活、容讓聖靈在我們裡面掌權時，就會得著虔敬。聖靈的 果子（加拉太書五章22至23節）就是上帝的屬性，我們越容讓上帝 充滿我們的生命，我們就會越像祂，而祂的神性就會通過我們的生命 顯現出來。學習虔敬也許是很難做到的一件事，但耶穌呼召我們要完 全成熟，因為我們的天父是完全的（馬太福音五章48節）。我們的天 職就是要試著去活出上帝的屬性，不論我們是多麼軟弱。上帝的恩典 能蓋過我們的失敗，而我們則要繼續有信心地去嘗試。
