Investing in Godliness.

Before we find out what godliness is and how it helps us to prepare for the coming day of the Lord, we must first define what is not godliness.
Often, we fail as a people of the kingdom when it comes to the idea of godliness. And the reason behind this failure is that we think our outward manifestation is what determines godliness. Rather, it is the essence of the inside man of the faith that should determine the outward manifestations. That is why the Lord Jesus said that many will come and say to Him, her this.
Matthew 7:15-23.
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and, in your name, perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
