The renunciation of ungodliness is essentially what it looks like to live a life marked by repentance.
Repentance is not a one-time event.
Instead, repentance is a full renunciation of godless living.
Christians must not drift back into the abyss of sin from which God has delivered them.
We have received the Spirit of God that we might no longer be “debtors to the flesh” (Romans 8:12-17).
Thus, Paul declares that those of us who have responded to God’s grace in Christ Jesus Spirit of God must “deny godlessness” to live a “sensible and righteous life” before God (Titus 2:12-13).
