Scripture: 1 Timothy 11-12(ESV)
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. 12 Fight 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.
Apostle Paul is one of the foundational pillars God used to bring the church to an alignment with the truth in God’s word. In all we do, our acknowledgment should be a key factor in helping us be on track. Men and women must wholeheartedly pursue God and the things that come from Him.
In our pursuit of God, we must flee from many things. The church of the Lord has been vulnerable to false teachers and to religious experiences that focus on the mind rather than on the heart of God.
The heart of God’s focus is bringing redemption and the church to alignment with God’s truth. The Apostle Paul addresses this issue as he calls the church to sound doctrine.
If anyone of us does not agree with this truth and sound words of the Lord and His teaching that accords with godliness, he’s puffed up with conceit and understands nothing.
“The heart of God’s focus is bringing redemption and the church to an alignment to God’s truth.”
In pursuing God, we must be willing to learn the truth and allow the spirit of God to teach us to know His undiluted word of truth. Hallelujah!
Confession:
I’ll pursue godliness and flee from every form of lust!
Prayer:
God of heaven and earth, your Name alone be praised. I’m thankful for all you do for me. Help me to stay committed to all your instructions in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
