A Charge to a Man of God — Part Two

1 Timothy 6:11–16  (ID: 1998)

Scripture lays out clear and understood objectives for the life of the believer. In 1 Timothy 6, Paul urged his protégé to flee from false teachers and the love of money and instead to pursue godly virtues. Alistair Begg examines two such virtues, righteousness and godliness, which are brought about by the transforming work of Christ in our hearts. When we conduct ourselves in accordance with God’s will and do what is pleasing to Him, our lives will give Him glory.

Fight the Good Fight of Faith

11But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before4 Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
