The Character Of Godliness, following the 'imperative of godliness', are the 'indicatives of godliness' John MacArthur writes: "Godliness is a right attitude and response toward the true Creator God; a preoccupation from the heart with holy and sacred realities. It is respect for what is due to God, and is thus the highest of all virtues". (MacArthur, John: I Timothy Moody Press) So, as matter of principle, godliness is lifestyle to the Christian. And, in the unfolding of this lifestyle: a) godliness is the practical awareness of God in every aspect of life b) godliness is the sustained hope and the most valued above all virtues c) godliness demonstrates a godly life in the Godless world and d) godliness effects experiential consciousness of God's sanctifying presence. Therefore; when godliness is viewed in an applicatory sense as an indicative, it is absolutely practical piety to which all godly ones must aspire.
