@READING: Been reading a great Thomas Watson book, The Godly Man's Picture. Awesome, awesome book. Really opening up my eyes to Godliness in a new way. Currently going over what is Godliness- so I'll ask you guys, without cheating or looking it up, what is Godliness? What does it look like?

Prior to the book, I would have said something simple like looking like God in all aspects of life, or even a WWJD related answer. Thomas Watson breaks it down in Part 1 (instead of chapters, its parts), saying that it's "sacred impression and workmanship of God in a man, whereby from being carnal he is his made spiritual." He also refers to it as seven "things" - REAL, INTRINSIC, SUPERNATURAL, EXTENSIVE, INTENSE, GLORIOUS, and PERMANENT. Great quote, in reference to Godliness being permanent: "When Godliness has taken root in the soul, it abides to eternity: 'his seed remains in him' (1 John 3:9). Godliness being engraved in the heart by the Holy Spirit, as with the point of a diamond, can never be erased."
