Godliness
with Contentment is Great Gain.
For
we brought Nothing into the World,
And
we will take Nothing our of it.
But
if we have food and clothing,
We
will be content with that.
People
who want to get Rich
Fall
into Temptation and a Trap,
And
into Many Foolish and Harmful Desires
That
Plunge men into Ruin and Destruction.
FOR
THE LOVE OF MONEY IS A ROOT OF ALL KINDS OF EVIL.
Some
people, eager for money,
Have
Wandered from the Faith
And
Pierced themselves with Many Griefs.
BUT
YOU MAN [WOMAN] OF GOD, FLEE FROM ALL THIS,
Pursue
Righteousness, Godliness, Faith, Love,
Endurance
and Gentleness.
FIGHT
THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH.
Take
Hold of the Eternal LIFE to which you were Called
When
you made your Good Confession
In
the Presence of Many Witnesses.
IN
SIGHT OF GOD WHO GIVES LIFE TO EVERYTHING,
And
of Christ Jesus, Who before Pontius Pilate
Made
a Good Confession,
I
Charge you to Keep this Commandment
Without
Spot or Blame
UNTIL
THE APPEARING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
Which
God will Bring About in His Own Time--
God
the Blessed and only Ruler,
THE
KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS,
WHO
ALONE IS IMMORTAL
AND
WHO LIVES IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT,
WHOM
NO ONE HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE.
To
Him be Honor and Might FOREVER. Amen.
Command
those who are Rich in this Present World
Not
to be Arrogant nor to put their Hope in Wealth,
WHICH
IS SO UNCERTAIN,
But
to put their Hope in God,
WHO
RICHLY PROVIDES US WITH EVERYTHING
For
our Enjoyment.
COMMAND
THEM TO DO GOOD,
To
be Rich in Good Deeds, and Willing to Share.
In
this way they will Lay Up Treasure for themselves
As
a Firm Foundation for the Coming Age,
So
that they may take Hold of the LIFE
That
is Truly LIFE.
Timothy,
Guard what has been Entrusted to your care.
Turn
away from godless chatter and Opposing Ideas
OF
WHAT IS FALSELY CALLED KNOWLEDGE,
Which
some have Professed
And
in so doing have Wandered From The Faith.
Grace
be with you.
(1
Timothy 6:6-21)
What
matters in this life God has given us?
Only
Godliness with Contentment.
Without
this, life has No Meaning.
What
is Fighting the Good Fight of Faith?
It is
Maintaining a Good Confession before man and God.
Who
is the Source of all life,
The
Creator of All that Exists?
God
Alone.
As God
Alone is Immortal
And as
a Spirit, that Immortality is in His Spirit
Whom
He gives to those who love Him
And
Keep His Commandments.
We
brought Nothing into this World
And we
will take Nothing out of it.
The
Rich cannot take their Wealth to the Grave.
What
does it Profit a man to Gain the Whole World
But
Lose his Soul? (Mark 8:36)
If we
had all the Knowledge there is to Know on Earth
It
would be less than a Faction of the Knowledge of God,
Which
is INFINITE.
IN
THE END, where will man's Knowledge get him?
Apart
from the Knowledge of God—Eternal Death!
This
World was given to Satan [Luke
4:6] at the Fall of man,
But
that was all part of God's Plan from before Creation.
This
World has been given to us to Overcome,
By
Faith in Christ Jesus--By His Spirit living In and Through us.
GOD
ALMIGHTY REMAINS THE ONLY RULER.
Christ Jesus warned us:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is Raging Against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being Ground to Powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as in Heaven!
