But
godliness with contentment is great gain.
Godliness
is godliness. It is nothing else. It is not measured by gain or achievement,
but by being with God, loving God first and foremost and, out of a relationship
with God, becoming like Him in our lifestyle, mannerism, and love. Therefore,
let us be content, for no amount of achievement makes us more godly. When we
have godliness with contentment there is great gain: peace!
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and
it is certain we can carry nothing out.
It is important for us to remember that we brought nothing into this
world. We came alone from our Mother’s womb. We grew up helpless and had to
have our every need provided for by others. When we die, what makes us think
that we can take anything with us? We brought nothing into this world and we
can certainly carry nothing out with us. Only we can leave, and most assuredly
every last one of us shall.
