1 Timothy 6 vs 6-11
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
What lessons can we learn from these scriptures?
- Success is knowing Christ. A successful man is one that lives in holiness and is contented with what he has. (vs 6)
- Life without Christ is vain. All the wealth, status, positions, and money you are struggling to acquire, you will leave all behind the day you die. (vs7)
- Human needs are few. Once you have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to stay you should be happy and contended. (vs8)
