The Purpose of the Commandment 1 Timothy 1:3-11

The Purpose of the Commandment (1 Timothy 1:5) LOVE Pure heart Good conscience Sincere faith

Law and Love (Deut. 10:12-13) Joshua 22:5: Taking careful heed to obey is loving the Lord Psa. 119:97: Love God’s law Psa. 119:165: Peace from loving God’s law Rom. 13:8-10: Love fulfillment of law Jno. 14:6; 1 Jno. 4:8: Truth & love unite in Jesus Christ

Purpose of God’s Commands is Love (1 Cor. 13:1-3) Love is active goodwill Keep word of Christ, Jno. 14:15, 21, 23 Sound doctrine is necessary in order to love correctly, 1 Tim. 1:3-11 1:3: No other doctrine (Gal. 1:6-7) 1:4: Truth basis of faith/edification 1:6-7: Goal of love is forfeited when we stray from truth (1:8-11; 2 John 1-6)

Love out of a pure heart (Jas. 4:8; Matt. 5:8) Seat of one’s will, Heb. 4:12 Reflected by life, Prov. 23:7; Matt. 12:35 (Jas. 3:13-17) Free of corruption, Acts 2:37-38 Pure thoughts/motives, Phil. 4:8

Love out of a pure heart (Jas. 4:8; Matt. 5:8) Why do I obey the commands of God? (Prov. 3:1-8) Love from a pure heart doesn’t set out to break God’s commands (Matt. 5:19) Neither does it obey hypocritically or self-righteously (Matt. 5:20; 6:1)

Love out of a good conscience Conscience is our moral compass It is “good” when properly “set” Intellectual consciousness “knows” but does not obey Moral consciousness “knows” and obeys, 1 Cor. 8:1-3, 7-13

Love out of a good conscience Obey God’s commands in order to set our conscience for a life of love that considers others before oneself, 1 Cor. 9:22; 10:31-33 Love from a good conscience (Gal. 5:14) Refusing to love & obey God sears the conscience, 1 Tim. 4:1-2 (1 Pet. 3:21)

Love out of a sincere faith The expression of our trust in God; our active response to truth, Jas. 2:18 Sincere: “Unfeigned, undisguised,” genuine; not pretended or impersonated (cf. 2 Tim. 1:5) Reverent (not pretentious), Col. 3:22-23 Generous (not selfish), 2 Cor. 1:12; 2:17; 8:8

The Purpose of the Commandment (1 Timothy 1:5) God knows our hearts & whether our obedience is love or pretense, Lk. 16:15 “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? … “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?” So he answered and said, “‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’” (Luke 10:25-27)

The Purpose of the Commandment (1 Timothy 1:5) Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. (Eph. 6:23-24)
