“Godliness with contentment is great gain.” Maybe you have heard this phrase before? This is not just a wise concept that a person threw together for a social media post or to put on a coffee mug – this is from Scripture itself. In fact, this is a Bible verse found in 1 Timothy 6:6.
“Godliness” and “contentment.” Maybe you have heard one or both of these words and they rubbed you the wrong way? Perhaps you have heard them a million times? Today, we are going to dig deeper into this verse.
Matthew Henry’s Commentary
Wealth is not sin. Some of the wealthiest people can be the most generous. They are accountable to God for how they use the resources which they have been given. The key word is want. The desire for money can quickly lead to temptation and slavery to sin. What looks like it brings great happiness and success ends in ruin and destruction. This is because nothing we build or buy will satisfy our soul-longings for eternity.
