1 Timothy 6. Day 186 - The New Testament in a Year

Contentment Over Wealth. Pursue Righteousness. The Charge to the Wealthy. 

11 But you, man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness.  1 Timothy 6:11

What truly brings us contentment? In 1 Timothy Chapter 6, Paul addresses the dangers of greed and the importance of godliness and contentment. He reminds us that while the world chases after wealth, true satisfaction comes from trusting in God and living a life that reflects His character. This chapter challenges us to shift our focus from material things and instead pursue righteousness, faith, and love.

As we reflect on Paul’s words, we’re called to fight the good fight of faith and to be generous with what God has entrusted to us. Whether we’re rich or poor, Paul’s message is clear: our hope must always be in God, not in the fleeting security of wealth. Together, we’ll explore how these timeless truths apply to our lives today, equipping us to live with purpose and eternal perspective.
