Moonlight7 View Profile History	Who is a Godly Man Posted : 11 Nov, 2024 11:19 AM The Bible is a handbook for anyone who desires to be a godly man . The first step in becoming a godly man is to surrender to the lordship of Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Anyone can learn rules, follow laws, and judge themselves harshly. Many false religions require that of their subjects. But we cannot become godly without the Holy Spirit empowering us to do so (Acts 1:8). Godliness is more than external behaviors; it is the continual seeking after God’s heart (Isaiah 55:6–7). The term godly refers to having an inward devotion for God that is outwardly displayed. So a godly man is one who has received Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross as payment for His own sin and has accepted the righteousness purchased for him there (2 Corinthians 5:21). By faith in Christ’s death and resurrection, the godly man has declared Jesus the Lord of his life, and his heart is set toward obedience (Romans 10:9–10). With God’s Spirit inside him (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), the godly man is able to understand the deep things of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9–10). He begins to see life differently. Life is no longer about pleasing himself but about pleasing his Lord (Romans 13:12–14; Hebrews 12:28). The godly man knows he will still stumble as he strives toward holiness (James 3:2), but his goal is to be holy as His Lord is holy (1 Peter 1:16). He learns early that his fleshly attempts at holiness only result in pride and failure. The godly man learns that, as he surrenders his will to the Holy Spirit and relies upon Him for strength to overcome temptation, he can withstand more temptation and accomplish greater eternal goals than he ever thought possible (Philippians 4:13). A godly man is one who has died to his flesh (Galatians 5:24). This does not mean he no longer faces temptation. It means that, when he is tempted, the decision about whether to give in has already been made. He relies on the power of the Holy Spirit to help him say “no” to his flesh and “yes” to the Spirit (1 Corinthians 10:13; Galatians 5:16). As he regularly opposes sin, he finds that his spirit grows stronger and temptation becomes easier to resist (Hebrews 10:23). The godly man: • repents when he sins (1 John 1:9) • considers himself dead to sin but alive to God (Romans 6:1–4, 11) • seeks to remain humble rather than exalt himself (Proverbs 27:2) A godly man is not a perfect man. We will never reach perfection until we are in the physical presence of Jesus (1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 John 3:2). But the godly man embraces his manhood and knows that Jesus, not the world, has set the standard for what it means to be a real man. So he strives daily to model his life after Jesus. © Copyright 2002-2024 Got Questions Ministries. All rights reserved Post Reply

Handyman62 View Profile History	Who is a Godly Man Posted : 11 Nov, 2024 01:02 PM Godly men speak the truth to less than Godly women such as yourself. Many men are afraid to speak the truth out of fear of losing women. But as a real man I don't play that game. But those such as yourself with less than Godly thinking can't recognize the truth when it's told to you. That happens when listening to Satan whisper in your ear instead of God. It happened to Eve in the Garden of Eden and it still happens to most western women today. Some try to cover their flawed beliefs by searching the internet to find other peoples flawed writings that loosely agree with them thinking it's going to give credence to what they say and believe, but I don't fall for it and continue to call them out. Some of these same women will also flood the forums with links and writings of others so as to draw attention to themselves to try and satisfy their need for validation. That often happens because they live a lonely life that was brought on by divorcing a perfectly good husband thinking the grass was greener on the other side. Many of these women end up on antidepressants or some other form of mind altering drug. It's really sad because if women just obeyed God and were submissive to their husbands and stopped divorcing for any reason they would be much happier. But because Satan convinced women they are equal to men and don't have to listen to them. They have inadvertently replaced God and Men's voices with Satan's. We are all now reaping the harvest of that movement. GO GIRL POWER! Post Reply
