1 Timóteo 6:10
Morris - Love of money. It is not money, but the love of money, that is the root of all evil. Some commentators have softened the meaning here by taking it as “all kinds of evil,” but the original actually reads “all evil.” Paul elsewhere says that covetousness is idolatry, the worship of money as a god (not money in itself, of course, but the power and possessions that money can provide), and Jesus Himself said that we cannot serve both God and mammon (Ephesians 5:5; Matthew 6:24). Pride is the sin of the devil (I Timothy 3:6), and it is pride that generates the love of what money provides. Evolutionism, which is the basis of all false religion and false philosophy, is essentially just the rationale that justifies man’s God-denying pride which causes the love of money, which is the root of all evil. (Defender's Study Bible Online Notes) David Hocking-Love of Money The Lord Jesus taught that our lives do not exist in the abundance of the things we possess, but money can quickly convince us otherwise. Money will affect our view of security. In 1 John 2:15-17 we are told to not love the world nor the things in it, for all that is in the world— the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and (literally) the boasting of one’s means of livelihood, which does involve money— is not of the Father but is of the world. It was money that kept a rich, young ruler from making a full commitment to Jesus Christ; he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. THE DANGERS OF THE LOVE OF MONEY 1Ti 6:9-10 1B. We need to understand the ROOT of the problem – 1Ti 6:9 2B. We need to understand the RESULTS of the problem – 1Ti 6:9-10 1C. You will fall into temptation – 1Ti 6:9 2C. You will fall into a snare or a trap – 1Ti 6:9 3C. You will fall into many foolish and harmful lusts – 1Ti 6:9 4C. You will be drowned in destruction and perdition – 1Ti 6:9 5C. You will wander from the faith – 1Ti 6:10 Jesus said we cannot serve two masters; and many people, because of their love of affluence, decide to not serve their master Jesus Christ and instead serve money. 6C. You will experience tremendous grief, pain and unhappiness – 1Ti 6:10 (David Hocking Notes on 1 Timothy) AND PIERCED THEMSELVES WITH MANY GRIEFS:kai heautous periepeiran (3PAAI) odunais pollais: Pierced: Ge 29:14,26,31-35 2Ki 5:27 Ps 32:10 Pr 1:31 2Pe 2:7,8) MacArthur on pierced themselves - Like an animal placed on a spit, they have skewered their own souls and brought themselves consuming grief. A condemning conscience, unfulfilled desires, dissatisfaction, and disillusionment are their lot. As Psalm 32:10 says, “Many are the sorrows of the wicked.” The ultimate pang they will suffer may well be eternal torment in hell. (See 1 Timothy Commentary) A few wise sayings on money and riches from Proverbs… Pr 11:28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like the green leaf. Pr 11:4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, But righteousness delivers from death. Pr 28:20 A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished. Pr 28:22 A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth, And does not know that want will come upon him. Pr 22:1 A good name is to be more desired than great riches, Favor is better than silver and gold. Pierced (4044) (peripeiro from peri = round about + peiro = pierce through) (Only NT use) literally means to penetrate entirely or pierce through. This is the only use in the Bible and figuratively means to undergo or experience something which is adverse and severe.
1 Timóteo 6:16
Morris: This passage confirms that on any of the many occasions in ancient times when God showed Himself in one way or another to man (Genesis 18:2; Job 42:5), we can be sure that each time it was a theophany in which the triune God manifested Himself through the Second Person of the Godhead, the Word of God. The Son is eternally in the Father's "bosom" and eternally proceeding as the "only begotten Son" (Greek monogenes), uniquely different from the many other sons of God (angels are also called "sons of God" as are all those men and women who have been born again through faith in Christ). Those modern translators who delete the word "begotten" here are not only wrong in translation but also in allowing dangerous heresy in the understanding of the nature of Christ. As the living Word, the Son reveals and speaks for the Father. 1Peter 2:9-note But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; Comment: The idea of proclaim is to declare abroad, make widely known, report widely, proclaim throughout, tell everywhere!!! It means to tell something not otherwise known. to tell out, to advertise: Because the world is “in darkness” people do not know the “excellencies” of God; but they can and should see them in the lives of His children. Each citizen of heaven is a living “advertisement” for the virtues of God and the blessings of the Christian life. Our lives should radiate the “marvelous light” into which God has graciously called us. How are we doing beloved?. John 12:45 And he who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me. John 14:9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. 2Corinthians 4:4-note in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God… 2Cor 4:6 (note) For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. Colossians 1:15-note And He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation Hebrews 1:3-note And He (Jesus) is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; 1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, in order that we might know Him (God the Father) Who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Acts 7:55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he (Stephen as he was being pummeled with stones) gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; 56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Comment: This passage strongly suggests that Stephen (who was being martyred) saw God. QUESTION - Has anyone ever seen God? ANSWER - The Bible tells us that no one has ever seen God (John 1:18) except the Lord Jesus Christ. In Exodus 33:20, God declares, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.” These Scriptures seem to contradict other Scriptures which describe various people “seeing” God. For example, Exodus 33:11 describes Moses speaking to God “face to face.” How could Moses speak with God “face to face” if no one can see God’s face and live? In this instance, the phrase “face to face” is a figure of speech indicating they were in very close communion. God and Moses were speaking to each other as if they were two human beings having a close conversation. In Genesis 32:30, Jacob saw God appearing as a man; he did not truly see God. Samson’s parents were terrified when they realized they had seen God (Judges 13:22), but they had only seen Him appearing as an angel. Jesus was God in the flesh (John 1:1, 14) so when people saw Him, they were seeing God. So, yes, God can be “seen” and many people have “seen” God. At the same time, no one has ever seen God revealed in all His glory. In our fallen human condition, if God were to fully reveal Himself to us, we would be consumed and destroyed. Therefore, God veils Himself and appears in forms in which we can “see” Him. However, this is different than seeing God with all His glory and holiness displayed. People have seen visions of God, images of God, and appearances of God, but no one has ever seen God in all His fullness (Exodus 33:20).GotQuestions.org Related Resource: See comments on topic has anyone ever seen God?
