What’s Your Take On This

I’d love your thoughts on Paul’s words in  1 Timothy 6:13-16.He begins saying, “I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, …that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time…” Some say Christians are free of the Law and commandments. We live in a time of grace. I agree we live by God’s grace. But, what about the charge to “keep the commandment without stain or reproach”? Could it be that although we’re saved by grace, God expects us to act like His children; not like unbelievers? Paul’s next words reflect one who is intimately in love with and in awe of the One they’ve seen. “He who is the blessed and only SOVEREIGN, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion!” Paul’s words and life are a praise to Jesus and match his charge. What’s your take on this?

Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed and only SOVEREIGN, we worship You. May our lives match our lips. 

“I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, …that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He will bring about at the proper time – He who is the blessed and only SOVEREIGN, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. 1 Timothy 6:13-16
