Godliness is a permanent thing

The following is from the book The Godly Man's Picture by Thomas Watson.

"Godliness is a fixed thing. There is a great deal of difference between a stake in the hedge and a tree in the garden. A stake rots and molds, but a tree, having life in it, abide and flourishes. When godliness has taken root in the soul, it abides to eternity: “his seed remaineth in him” (I John 3:9). Godliness being engraved in the heart by the Holy Ghost, as with the point of a diamond, can never be erased."
