Life in the Household of God: The Mystery of Godliness

Name: Life in the Household of God: The Mystery of Godliness

Duration: 41 min 9 s
Description: Paul teaches that growing in practical godliness requires understanding two things: what the church is (a family, a living communion with God, and a pillar and buttress of truth) and what Christ has done (the mystery of godliness revealed in his incarnation, vindication, proclamation, and exaltation), because godly behavior flows from knowing and believing in Christ, not from mere moral effort.
