GOLDEN TEXT—“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” (I Timothy 6:12).
HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS—I Tim. 6:11-16

Life in Christ brings conflict with the world (I Tim. 6:11-12).

What to pursue (I Tim. 6:11).
How to live (I Tim. 6:12).
As Christians, we will be pressured; but as we obey and remain faithful, God is glorified and attacks ultimately fail (vss. 13-14).

How to stay blameless (I Tim. 6:13-14).



God chooses what He reveals about Himself, and He does so in His own time and for His own purpose (vss. 15-16).

Whom to honor (I Tim. 6:15-16).
IMPORTANT COMMANDS—I Tim. 6:17-21

God provides material wealth as a tool for His people, not as a means for selfish indulgence (vss. 17-18).

Trust the Living God (I Tim. 6:17).
Be willing to share (I Tim. 6:18-19).
When we share our wealth with others, we invest in God’s kingdom and trust Him for our needs (vs. 19).
Focus on knowing and following God, and avoid pointless debates (vss. 20-21).

Guard the important truths (I Tim. 6:20-21).
