It's profitable for all things!

It a great thing that more and more people are wanting to improve their health.
I truly believe in being diligent in our health is important, so that we can have the energy and strength to serve the Lord and our fellow man. For the apostle Paul said that bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things. 1 Tim 4:8
So godliness that is profitable for all things (which would include your physical health), is where is need to give our attention to.
The apostle Peter said to the saints (us) that we are to be diligent to add to our faith virtue, knowledge, self control, perseverance (patience), godliness, brotherly kindness, love. And if we do these things we will never stumble. 1 Peter 1:5-7,10.
** So the question is** 'WHAT IS GODLINESS'
If it is not virtue or knowledge or self control or perseverance or brotherly kindness or love, then what is it.
We need to know what this is that is profitable for all things. So that we can walk in all the fullness of God.
As we look at the life of Jesus we see that He was very godly, also we can see from the apostle Paul his godliness.
Both of them showed the example that we are to follow. The Lord Jesus said that those who believed in Him would do the works that He did. (those who would receive the Holy Spirit).
The apostle Paul said imitate me as I imitate Christ. The way to do this is by living and walking in godliness.
So in this episode I explain what is godliness and how to walk in it, giving examples from the Lord Jesus, the apostles Paul and Peter and examples from my own life and that of my family.
