The Four Things that Mark a Man of God

1 Timothy 6:11-14
11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.  12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.  13  I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14  That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

1)     A Man of God is marked by what he flees from (v11).
Those who consent not to wholesome words and to the doctrine according to Godliness
The love of money
2)     A Man of God is marked by what he follows after (v11).
Righteousness
Godliness
Faith
Love
Patience
Meekness
3)     A Man of God is marked by what he fights for (v12).
The Good fight of faith
4)     A Man of God is marked by what he is faithful to (v13-14).
The Commandment of God without spot and unrebukable
