1 Timothy - Chapter 6
Manage episode 452599455 series 3437881
As the apostle Paul ends his letter to the young pastor, Timothy, Paul encouraged Timothy to remind Christian slaves/employees that they are to work to the best of their abilities for their masters, so the name of God and of the Christian teachings are not maligned. He warned Timothy to beware of the love of money. 6:6, "But godliness with contentment is great gain." As Christians, our hope and security is not found in wealth or money, but in Jesus Christ. Paul charged Timothy to flee evil and pursue "godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness." He is to fight, take hold, and keep the command until Christ Jesus comes again in all his glory. God the Father has a specific time in mind. Timothy was to command the rich to be generous with the gifts God gave them so they will not be led astray from wealth's deception, and take a hold of Jesus the one that is true life. Paul continued Timothy to stay faithful, and not turn down the way of the false teachers with their so-called "knowledge." Paul blessed Timothy with God's grace.
