The Great Gain of Contentment

In 1 Timothy 6.6-10, Paul explains how godliness (devotion and conformity to Jesus) and contentment (a happy trust in the sufficiency of Jesus) is great gain. In this text, we can find three reasons why contentment is gain: 1) contentment weans us off this present world, 2) contentment satisfies us in God’s perfect care, 3) contentment delivers us from temporal and eternal ruin.
