El sermón "Dicho fiel #3," predicado por Joel Coyoc, aborda el tema de la piedad cristiana y su promesa tanto en esta vida como en la venidera, fundamentándose en 1 Timoteo 4:9-10. Coyoc argumenta que la verdadera piedad se inicia con el reconocimiento de nuestra condición de pecadores, tal como lo revela el Evangelio. Utilizando las enseñanzas de Pablo, el sermón enfatiza que los "dichos fieles" son verdades profundamente aprendidas y aceptadas por la comunidad cristiana; son declaraciones que han sido forjadas por la experiencia y la revelación del Espíritu Santo. Scripturas como 1 Timoteo 4:8 se utilizan para resaltar que la piedad trae beneficios en esta vida y en la siguiente. Finalmente, el preacher subraya que estas verdades confiables son un ancla en tiempos de dificultades y ayudan a los creyentes a perseverar en sus pruebas al afirmar su esperanza en el Dios viviente.

The Bible teaches that a life of godliness holds promise for the present life and the life to come.
In 1 Timothy 4:8, Paul emphasizes that while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both this life and the life to come. This view underscores the importance of prioritizing spiritual growth and piety in the believer's life, as it not only enriches this life but prepares one for eternity. Godliness is an acknowledgment of our need for Christ, and it calls us to a deeper communion with God. As we grow in faith, we find strength and assurance that allows us to confront the trials and tribulations of this life while remaining hopeful and expectant for the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:8
Scripture affirms that God uses all circumstances, including sufferings, for the good of His people.
The sovereignty of God implies that He is in control of all events, including our sufferings. Romans 8:28 illustrates this truth, stating that 'we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.' This assures believers that even the trials we face serve a divine purpose, shaping us into the image of Christ and fostering our spiritual maturity. In life's gymnasium, where hardships are frequent, we can trust that our suffering is not meaningless but is intended for our ultimate good and God's glory, enabling us to persevere with hope.
Romans 8:28
Having confidence in God provides believers with strength and hope amid life's difficulties.
Confidence in God is vital for Christians, especially during trials and hardships. It is through this confidence that we can endure suffering, knowing that God is not only sovereign but also good. In 1 Timothy 4:10, Paul writes about working and suffering because we hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all whom He has chosen to believe. This belief gives us the assurance that our struggles contribute to our sanctification and lead to a greater closeness with Christ. As we maintain our faith, we experience peace and joy that surpass human understanding, enabling us to rejoice in our sufferings as we await the fulfillment of God's promises.
1 Timothy 4:10
It signifies that Christ provides salvation in a general sense to all, but particularly for those who believe.
The phrase that Christ is the Savior of all men, as seen in 1 Timothy 4:10, underscores His role as the deliverer from earthly calamities and the ultimate savior for those who believe in Him. While all men, due to common grace, experience God's providential care, the salvific work of Christ applies fully to believers who are chosen and called according to His purpose. This distinction clarifies that, while Christ provides physical salvation and well-being, He offers spiritual salvation uniquely to those who trust in Him for eternal life. It emphasizes the necessity of faith in receiving the full benefits of His redemptive work.
1 Timothy 4:10
