1 Timothy 6: ⁶And religion does make your life rich, by making you content with what you have. ⁷We didn't bring anything into this world, and we won't take anything with us when we leave. ⁸So we should be satisfied just to have food and clothes. ⁹People who want to be rich fall into all sorts of temptations and traps. They are caught by foolish and harmful desires that drag them down and destroy them. ¹⁰The love of money causes all kinds of trouble. Some people want money so much that they have given up their faith and caused themselves a lot of pain. ¹¹Timothy, you belong to God, so keep away from all these evil things. Try your best to please God and to be like him. Be faithful, loving, dependable, and gentle. ¹²Fight a good fight for the faith and claim eternal life. God offered it to you when you clearly told about your faith, while so many people listened.(CEV)
1. What is the great gain in godliness with contentment?

Matthew 1: ²²So the LORD'S promise came true, just as the prophet had said, ²³"A virgin will have a baby boy, and he will be called Immanuel," which means "God is with us." John 1: ⁹The true light that shines on everyone was coming into the world. Luke 2:³⁰With my own eyes I have seen what you have done to save your people, ³¹and foreign nations will also see this.(CEV)
2. How has Christ brought light to your life as Immanuel, "God with Us"?

Proverbs 23: ⁴Give up trying so hard to get rich. ⁵Your money flies away before you know it, just like an eagle suddenly taking off. 2 Peter 1: ³We have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all given to us by God's own power, when we learned that he had invited us to share in his wonderful goodness. Luke 12: ¹⁵Then he said to the crowd, "Don't be greedy! Owning a lot of things won't make your life safe."(CEV)
3. What is everything we need to live life that pleases God?

John 1: ¹³They were not God's children by nature or because of any human desires. God himself was the one who made them his children. Mt 12: ^31-32I tell you that any sinful thing you do or say can be forgiven. Even if you speak against the Son of Man, you can be forgiven. But if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you can never be forgiven, either in this life or in the life to come. (CEV)
4. Describe your view of the unpardonable sin.

Philippians 4: ¹¹I am not complaining about having too little. I have learned to be satisfied with whatever I have. ¹²I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. ¹³Christ gives me the strength to face anything.(CEV)
5. Why was Paul contented and where did you learn this? Where did you learn this?
