“Godliness is not about acquiring better and more material things; it is instead an active life of faith, a living out of covenant faithfulness in relation to God, that finds sufficiency and contentment in Christ alone whatever one’s outward circumstances might be.”
Philip H. Towner in The Letters to Timothy and Titus (NICNT; Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2006) 399.
Without a heart that is content with Christ alone, we can neither be godly nor generous. This is true regardless of our circumstances. Are we content with Christ alone?
