I would define godliness as the expression of Jesus Christ in our lives. Godliness is the means of which God is made known through us. Know this was not an easy task to make this conclusion. As I am an undereducated woman. Yet the bible was designed for all to read and understand and comprehend what is being said.
Our sins have been dealt with by Christ and His righteousness imputed to us, the Holy Spirit is now within our lifes and it is His presence that enables us to overcome the desires of the world and to live victoriously for the Lord. If we lives after the world; the joy, peace and blessing of our Christian experience will wither and die, our lives will disintegrate and go to pieces--corrupt and die. On the other hand, our Christian lives will flourish and prosper, bearing the precious fruits of righteousness as we focus our attention on what God has done for us and is doing in us in Christ
In 2 Peter it clearly states what leads up to godliness and thereafter. Being in chapter 1 verse 6. It all begins with adding to your faith goodness. Persevering with goodness to gain knowledge. Gaining knowledge in the word of God to acheive self control. Attaining self control is not any easy task but managable. Acheiving self control to preservere. Once you perservere you attain godliness. Godliness is that of being like Christ so to say. Acheiving godliness to have brotherly love and kindness. The word of God says these shall keep you from being ineffective and/or unproductive in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Yet without them you nearsighted and blind.So again godliness is opening your heart, mind, and spirit to God. To allow him to work through you to reach the unreached. You may not be perfect, no one is and no one will ever be perfect. You can only try your best and accomplish the best.
So I am not sure I have made sense. But in my brain, I hae made complete sense. Thanks for listening. I shall have more up soon.
