1) In this context
2) Sobriety is the right attitude toward one’s self.
3) Righteousness is the right attitude toward our fellow man.
4) This morning we are to discuss how a man becomes godly. This is from the Greek word “eusebeia”. This means reverence, respect, piety towards God.
5) Our discussion this morning will center on becoming Godly. Tonight we will discuss remaining Godly.
DISCUSSION: Showing piety, reverence toward God involves becoming into a state in which we can show piety and reverence toward God
I. An accountable person who has not obeyed the gospel is in the condition of sin. Romans 3:23.
1. Sinful man cannot approach God. Isaiah 59:2 “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”
2. God demands that his people be holy. 1 Peter 1:15-16 “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
3. We must be in a holy state to approach a holy God–to be godly.
II. We become holy by fulfilling the obligations God has set forth in his gospel for us to be saved. We call this the plan of salvation.
1. God demands that we hear His Son and His word.
1) Hebrews 1:1-2!
2) Matthew 17:5 “…Hear Ye Him.”
3) Romans 10:17
4) Luke 8:15 The seed which falls on good ground are they who hear and do.
5) Matthew 7:24-27 Wise man and foolish man.
2. God demands that we believe–have faith–in Him and His word. (Tell meaning)
1) Hebrews 11:6 “Without faith ….”
2) 2 Corinthians 5:7 “We walk by faith, not by sight.”
3) John 8:24 “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
4) John 3:16
3. God demands that we repent of our sins. (Meaning of repentance)
1) Acts 17:30
2) Luke 13:3 “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.”
3) Matthew 4:17 Jesus message, “Repent ye for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

1) Romans 10:10
2) Matthew 10:32-33
3) Acts 8:37 Ethiopian Eunuch
5. God demands that we be baptized for the remission of our sins. This puts us into a holy state. (Emphasize the passiveness of the action. It is not a work of merit.)
1) Mark 16:16
2) Acts 2:38
3) Romans 6:4
4) Gal. 3:27
