Everything Is Good - 1 Timothy 4:3-5

1 Timothy 4:3-5 ESV 


who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. 


Everything is good as created by God, but it can become soiled and corrupted by the hands of man. 


They can even be made holy by the word of God and prayer, which also happens in the hands of a man who has joined hands with God. This is why the earth longs for the revealing of the sons of God. That which has been cursed because of man will be renewed because of man. 


The ultimate example of this is a person who believes in God and lives their life in the form of a prayer of thanksgiving for the life He provides. We are purified by receiving the gift of God and only the pure can see all things as pure.
