The right perspective is essential to right doctrine. If we get our view of God right, then our lives will flow from that truth. That’s Paul’s message in the final chapter of 1 Timothy. If you want to know how to live in the world, then set your mind on things above and the Glory of God. This will order your life in a way that reflects the goodness and mercy of God. It will result in a life of contentedness and thanksgiving, sanctification and worship, joy and celebration. These are the marks of a life that has been ordered around the love of God.
