Words of Encouragement –Gentleness

1 Timothy 6:11

11 But you, Timothy, belong to God; so run from all these evil things, and follow what is right and good. Pursue a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. (NLT)

 

As with Timothy so are we. We belong to God, and belonging to God we are to pursue a godly life. As we pursue the godly life in Christ we are to be built up in faith, love, patience and gentleness. And how do we do this? We do this by spending time with those who are further along in their walk with Christ then we are so that we can learn and grow. Secondly, we need to spend a lot of time reading the scriptures and spending a lot of time in prayer search God’s will for our lives. Pursuing a godly life in Christ takes effort, persistence and obedience. Pursuing a godly life is a pursuit of a higher and better standard. God pursued us through Jesus Christ and now we are to pursue God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength in Christ Jesus.

Our Mission is to Lead People into a Growing Relationship with Jesus Christ
