Behaving in God’s House 1 Timothy 3:14-15

Behaving in God’s House Christian behavior in God’s house, the church, is the theme of 1 Timothy “Behavior” = “being”; what we are to “be”; moral character and conduct (Gr. ἀναστρέφω = to turn around) Paul presents five truths concerning the Christian’s behavior

1. Moral Behavior Is Given “…how men ought to behave” Like the word “should,” an “ought” (Gr. δεῖ = necessary) is a divine moral and ethical necessity of behavior (Rom. 15:1; Eph. 5:28; 1 Tim. 5:13; Tit. 1:11; etc.) The NT is not a book of suggestions

2. Moral Behavior Is Known “…that you may know” We are not left to guess what the moral standard of behavior is (1 Jn. 5:14) Skepticism and agnosticism have no place in a Christian’s life

3. Moral Behavior Is Objective “These things write I unto you…” How we ought to behave is determined by the written word of God in the New Testament Our morality is not subjective, but objective; not relative, but absolute

3. Moral Behavior Is Objective Jn. 17:14-19 1 Thess. 4:1-2 2 Tim. 3:16-17 Titus 2:11-12 2 Peter 1:2-8

3. Moral Behavior Is Objective Not civil government (Ex. 1; Dan. 3; 6) Not religious authority (Mt. 15; Ac. 5) Not self (Ex. 23:2; Judg. 21:17) Not situations (Rom. 3:8) Not extra-biblical sources (Gal. 1:6-9) Not culture (Acts 19:27; Tit. 1:12)

4. Moral Behavior Is Necessary “but if I tarry long, that you may know” Paul did not want these Christians to be without a standard of behavior; he was urgent because moral behavior is necessary and important We should not live without a standard of moral behavior (Eph. 4:17-19)

5. Moral Behavior Is Dignified “in the house of God … the church … the pillar and ground of the truth” Christians ought to behave a certain way because (1) we are God’s house, not just a social club; and (2) we support the truth, not just a bunch of man-made opinions (Phil. 3:14)

Behaving in God’s House Christians today must have a clear understanding these 5 truths concerning proper behavior Why? Because people will always call evil, good; and good, evil (Isa. 5:20)
