1st Timothy

Biblical Advice and Commentary on 1st Timothy 6

Summary of 1st Timothy 6. 1st Timothy 6 tells us to be faithful and to honor God by serving others as Jesus has taught us. Be wary of anyone that teaches contrary to Jesus' doctrine. To be godly is to be content. Beware of riches as they are a temptation. The love of money is the root of all evil. We must fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on to eternal life.

The Mystery of Godliness Made Clear in Jesus Christ

1 Timothy 3:16. When Jesus walked on this Earth He revealed to us about the nature of God and His Godliness. Jesus came to us as God, the Son, in human form and revealed to us the godliness of His loving and righteous nature. Jesus revealed the full nature of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Jesus as a God-man revealed to mankind the Great Mystery of godliness.

The Bible Says Self-Control is Based on Faithfulness to God

1 Timothy 2:15. The Bible says in 1 Timothy 2:15, “... continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety”. This is the Christian way to have self-control. We must live by faith, love (charity) always, and be holy. By doing this we will have self-control (sobriety). This is the way that God desires for us to live, and He gives us the means to have self-control.

A Good Conscience Comes From Love and Faith

1 Timothy 1:5. Ideally, for a person's conscience to be good it needs to be based on faith and love. If you have faith in God, then His Truth and commandments (standards), the gospel of Jesus Christ, will be written in your heart (1 Timothy 1:5, "Now the end of the commandment is charity (love) out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:").

A Living Hope For All Mankind

1 Timothy 4:10. All men can have this living hope. God offered a living hope to all mankind through His son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the savior of all mankind. All we need to do is accept Jesus' free gift and God can be our living hope. He will accept all of us because He loves all of us.
