Awake and Alive – Part 6 – Life Awakened
July 7, 2024
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, 5because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.” 1 Timothy 4:1-5 (NIV)
Living a godly life…
(1 Timothy 4:6-16)
…starts with my connection to Jesus.
“If you point these things out to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, NOURISHED on the truths of the faith and of the good teaching that YOU HAVE FOLLOWED.” vs. 6 (NIV)
“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1 (NIV)
…requires focusing on the truth, not the lies.
“Have NOTHING TO DO with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.” vs. 7 (NIV)
“That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.” vs. 10 (NIV)
…is hard work.
“…we labor and strive…” vs. 10a (NIV)
“Fight the good fight of the faith…” 1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV)
“…train yourself to be godly.” vs. 7b (NIV)
“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” vs. 8 (NIV)
…draws people to Jesus.
“Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.” vs. 15 (NIV)
“Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.” vs. 16 (NIV)
