DEVELOP A GODLY CHARACTER "Godliness is more than a character trait," writes Jerry Bridges "It is a foundational spiritual quality that makes the entire Christian life dynamic, effective, and pleasing to God." Godliness is a two-fold process: an ever-deepening devotion to God, and a character that is steadily transformed into his likeness. A Bible Study on The Practice of Godliness will help you grow in your fear of, love for, and devotion to God-the three basic elements essential to a godly life. As you learn how to take on God's character, you'll explore how to let the Holy Spirit cultivate the fruit of God's character traits in your life: ⚫ humility contentment and thankfulness self-control and faithfulness . joy holiness and gentleness kindness and peace patience and overall, love goodness Use the thought-provoking questions in this study as a springboard for a serious and rewarding encounter with God's word. The corresponding reading in Jerry Bridges' book, The Practice of Godliness, will help you check your interpretations as well as introduce some fresh insights you might not have come up with on your own. Make godliness your personal goal by putting into practice what the Apostle James says: "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 231.070891094989 Transformatio Library Bandung Theological Seminary 231.07 Bri b E10000204 Non Fiction 231.07 Bri b the_practice_godliness.jpeg 31838 2014-11-27 11:54:25 2025-04-09 12:04:55 machine generated
