I Tim 3:16 "The Mystery of Godliness" (October 23)

I Tim 3:15 ~ Paul knew that he was close to death.  He writes to Timothy to tell him how they are to behave in the noble tasks in the church, the Pillar and Buttress of the Truth. Paul just wrote that his evaluation of himself placed him in the column of the chiefest of sinners. We can never rid ourselves of our sinful nature.  It will always be there. This isn't about getting better, or wiser, or stronger.  This is about surrender to the Truth.  How will we live differently today, a repentant heart?  Hold the Mystery of Faith with a clear conscience. Great indeed, we confess, is this Mystery of Godliness ~ I Tim 3:16.
