The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Thursday 9th October 2025 Is “Are You Godly or Religious?”
Read: 2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
Memorise: For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. — (1 Timothy 4:8)
Religion and godliness are two separate things. Religion is a fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by several persons or sects, while godliness is having the nature of God as an individual.
For example, someone who goes to church regularly and still curses or abuses people is religious but not godly. Also, if a teenager gives to the poor often yet commits fornication or cheats in his or her academic exams, such a teenager is not godly but only religious.
Jesus described the Pharisees and scribes in His days as religious people because they could not recognise Him as the Messiah they had been expecting. They followed the laws of Moses to the letter and antagonised all His words and actions. They also did not believe in Christ’s message of love and mercy; rather, they believed that no sinner must go unpunished (John 8:1–5). They paid attention to looking and acting holy rather than being genuinely holy.
My dear child, if you fast, pray, go to church, give offerings, pay tithes, and dress decently but find it difficult to forgive and show love to people, you are not godly; you are merely practising religion.
KEY POINT:
True godliness is exhibiting the nature of God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Jeremiah 12:1–14:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:1–2:8; Psalm 79:1–13; Proverbs 24:30–34
HYMNAL:
Hymn 16 – Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
