FAITH CAPSULE:\u00a0<\/strong>Live a life of responsibility before God to excel for His glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Timothy 6<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, put aside all that is not of God, with responsibility, pursue all that draws man to God.\u00a01 Timothy 6:11<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0rightly states,\u00a0\u201cBut you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Responsibility is to pursue\u00a0righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.\u00a0<\/em>
Righteousness:\u00a0<\/u><\/em>
Pursuing righteousness is the responsible life that David lived before God. David testifies his pursuit,\u00a0\u201cThe Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness\u2026\u201d (2 Samuel 22:21)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Like David, Job pursuit the righteousness of God,\u00a0\u201cI put on righteousness, and it clothed me\u2026\u201d (Job 29:14)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0
Seek God diligently, be righteous to find God.
Godliness:<\/span><\/em>
To be living a godly life is conforming to the laws and wishes of\u00a0God.<\/strong>
Be responsible, live a life of pursuing godliness that will mark you as a godly one.\u00a02Timothy 3:5\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>states pursuing godliness:\u00a0\u201chaving a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Faith:\u00a0<\/u><\/em>
Faith is not born with no man but gain by hearing and hearing by the word of God.\u00a0Romans 10:17\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>testifies,\u00a0\u201c\u2026faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The pursuit of faith is a responsibility to seek the Word of God by standing on the word of God.\u00a0
Without faith, God is not pleased.
Have a life of faith, be responsible for pleasing God by pursuing things of God.
Be responsible not to become a victim of evil.
Love, Patience, and Godliness:\u00a0<\/u><\/em>
With responsibility is to pursue the command of God to love. The Word of God in\u00a01 Corinthians 13:1-3\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>declares the importance of love,\u00a0\u201cThough I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0To pursue is the responsibility of love as the command of God, which is the way to find God.\u00a0
The pursuit of love comes with patience and cannot be separated.
2 Thessalonians 3:5 states, \u201cNow may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Be responsible, pursue patience because\u00a0\u201cBy your patience possess your souls.\u201d (Luke 21:19)<\/em><\/strong>
Living a life of responsibility, to pursue gentleness, with the knowledge will identify one as a fearing vessel before God.\u00a0Galatians 5:23<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0buttresses,\u00a0\u201c\u2026gentleness, self-control. Against such, there is no law.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Live a life of responsibility, pursue acceptable ways before God.
Responsibility before God is the price for greatness, doing great exploits to the glory of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
