Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
Albert Barnes writes, “The truth, the acknowledgment of which Paul was appointed to secure, was not scientific, historical, or political truth: it was that of religion – that which was adapted to lead men to a holy life, and to prepare them for a holy heaven.”
Those who would serve God must endeavor to remain true to their calling. There are so many causes in this world; some of them worthy, some of them not so much, but all of them vying for our efforts. One might, from time to time, feel guilty that his attention isn’t more focused on these others. No doubt there will be people who insist that they are a part of the preacher’s duty.
Be steadfast and unmovable in this.
Our work is to lead men after godliness.
