Christian contentment

Hello, welcome to three truths. The Bible says in Philippians 4:12-13: "I know how to live humbly and I know how to have abundance in everything and I am taught in everything, both to be satisfied and to be hungry. Both to have abundance and to be in need I can do all things through Christ who it makes me stronger".

Three biblical truths about Christian contentment in this passage:

1.Truth number one: No one is born capable of having contentment, that is, something we learn from abundance or scarcity.

2.Truth number two: We are not defined by our material possessions, we are not more loved or approved by God when we have abundance, nor does having scarcity mean that God is not approving us, He is simply sovereign.

3.Truth number three: The key to contentment is to rest precisely in the fact that no matter what my condition is in terms of the things I possess or do not possess, everything I am is defined by what Christ did on the cross of Calvary.
God help us.
