Be Careful!!

*1 Timothy 6:3-16* – 3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, 4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions, 5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out. 8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. 13 I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession, 14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; 15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.This Scripture is very clear, people have been lead astray from Jesus Christ because of their love for money which has caused them many sorrows. For example today, people can love their money it affects the time they spend with their family and friends and they become sad because they realize later that the people in your life are much better than the stuff in your life that you acquire in life which are good and are blessings from God, but when they confuse the love for others and most importantly the love for God as less important than the love of money then they are lead astray by money, fame, and fortune.Verse 11 says: But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. So we must love the attributes of God much more than the things God blessed us with such as money.Verse 12 says: Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. We must continue to live for Jesus Christ daily, the faith in Christ is a daily process not just a Sunday or Wednesday event. If you do struggle, you can go back to the witnesses who are brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ and you can ask them to encourage you and pray for you so that you can follow Christ and not money, you can only serve God or money, not both.Verses 13-16 say: 13 I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession, 14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; 15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.We are to keep the commandments without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ returns. Now we do sin, we have a sinful nature, but we can grow in holiness, the more we read our Bibles, pray to the Lord for His wisdom and His light, we must come to Him so He alone can renew our strength, He is perfect, He loves us even when we struggle, even when we are angry, even when we are lost and off the straight and narrow road, only King Jesus Christ can get us back on track in our lives.So amazing is the light of Jesus Christ that no man has seen it or can see it, and He will receive all honor, and eternal power. Amen.Praise King Jesus,Mark Cannon
