What Determines Your Life Goals?
“But as for you, O man of God…” (1 Timothy 6:11)
The apostle Paul has written a letter to Timothy, his “true child in the faith”, whom he had commissioned to serve, teach and lead the church in Ephesus. This letter is full of advice and encouragement.
In chapter 6, Paul writes about people who are “depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain” (1 Timothy 6:5). Their desire to become rich causes much harm to the church and to themselves. They even wander away from the faith since their hearts are filled with their “senseless and harmful desires”.
After this description, Paul addresses Timothy directly: “But as for you, O man of God…”. Timothy is a child of God, he has devoted his whole life to the Lord, and this should determine his life goals. He should seek the kingdom of God, and all other things will be given as well. He should “discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2).
Being a child of God has radical consequences for your life goals. Are you a child of God? Are your deepest desires aimed at His glory?

Tentang Rencana ini
When asking people what they want to achieve in life, you will probably hear things like wealth, happiness, safety, and a loving family. These are all good things in themselves, but if we focus on them too much, they can draw us away from God. In order to avoid this, the apostle Paul mentions a different list of life goals we should pursue. Let’s study them one by one.
