1 Timothy 6:5. Many of us to include Christians can caught up in worldly goods and worldly knowledge and think it is a form of Godliness.(2 Timothy 3:5). First, godliness is about truth and not about worldly knowledge. Godliness is about speaking God's truth and not about winning arguments. There are many smart people in the world, but many of them are far from godliness. Also, godliness is about spiritual things and not about Earthly trappings. God may have blessed us with wealth.

When we do not totally rely on Him, we are basically despising His Word. We are trusting in our own strength and diverting from God's purpose in our lives.

This is because they are denying God, their true source of joy. In their continual denial of God, people will acquire an unquenchable and insatiable desire for money and possessions.

Hosea 7:13. When we define deceit another aspect is it suppresses the truth. In Christianity deceit results in people not even knowing they need salvation and redemption through Jesus Christ.

Through deceit we become haters of God instead of lovers of God. We let Satan keep us in bondage even though Jesus Christ has already done everything necessary on the cross for all of us to be redeemed (Hosea 7:13, “Woe unto them!
