Godliness is being like God. God is holy. God is love. God is merciful. God is compassionate. God is the judge. Here is where we are not supposed to be like God when we judge. God is forgiving, so we are to forgive others just as he forgave us.
To strive towards the mind of God. Impossible for mankind but we should try.
1 Chronicles 16:11 KJV - Psalm 119:10 KJV -
When your thought becomes no different than God's thought; you're done.

The Greek for godliness is eusebeia (yoo-seb'-i-ah) its definition: piety/an obligation (towards God), godliness, devotion.
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins" (2 Peter 1:5-9).
