Godliness with Contentment Is Great Gain | The A-Life (Week 3)


Listen Later

The abundant life is a life lived with eternal values. Jesus taught we need to value the spiritual more than the physical, and the eternal more than the temporal. He cautioned us to take heed and beware of greed.
Covetousness is the enemy of contentment. It’s the lust for more no matter how much you have. Your jealousy shows your idolatry. You’re jealous of another and covetous of what they have because they have more of your idol than you do of your idol.
You cannot value what God values and give Him your full attention while you are consumed by the distractions of our culture. You can be full of all the world’s success and stuff temporarily and forever bankrupt eternally. Contentment is being satisfied with what God has given you, and godliness with contentment is great gain.
What does it mean to be “rich” toward God? To be truly rich means to treasure the eternal—the Word of God, the souls of men, and God’s eternal kingdom. To live a life of eternal value you must live for things that last forever!
Living abundantly means living for the things that last eternally. Take inventory of your heart to find things that you idolize. Your idols will never serve you, but you will forever serve them.
The rewards of heaven are greater than the rewards and recognition of this world. Join Pastor Phil as he teaches on how godliness with contentment is great gain!
