Recap on last week's bible study.
1 timothy 1: 1-11

Main points:

In Verse 4,
New living Translation-
V4 -Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations,which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.

This means that, when the people devote themselves to myths and spiritual pedigrees(endless geologies), these only lead to meaningless speculations (promotes controversies).

Chinese - 当人听从荒渺无凭的话语和无穷的家谱, 这等事只生辩论）

NLT- These things do not help people live a life of faith in God.
NIV- These things do not promote god's work- which is by faith
( 这样并不发明神在信上所立的章程。)

So how do we promote God's plan? (God's plan is simply righteousness by faith) ( 怎样发明神在信上所立的章程 )?

Verse5
NLT- 5 The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.
NIV- 5The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

When we look at verse 5,
We'll discover that the goal of this command is love ( 命令的总归就是爱 )
In other words, we can see it as, Love is what God wants us to ultimately have. this also links back to understanding about God not wanting his people to devote themselves to myths and endless geologies- which isnt based on Love.

This love that God wants us to have comes from having a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith.
这爱是从清洁的心和无亏的良心，无伪的信心生出来的。

And so with this Love,
We'll then be able to know what God favours, which is the path that is right. So, only with a love that comes from - pure heart, good conscience and sincere faith, then we would be on the right path.

Love can be used as a measurement to determine the right path, the truth and the false..

Thus, real Truth, is based on Love.
