godlessness

A mode of thinking or being that excludes God from life and ignores or perhaps even deliberately violates God’s laws and commandments. Basically, godless or ungodly persons are those who live, act, and think as though God can be ignored or spurned. For some illustrations of the varieties of godlessness, see (Deut 8:11-20; Job 8:13; Ps 119:51; Rom 1:18-32; Rom 4:5; Rom 5:6; 1Tim 1:9; 1Tim 4:7; 1Tim 6:20; 2Tim 2:16; 2Pet 2:5-6; and Jude 1:4, Jude 1:15).
