1 Timothy1:11

11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

Here the Apostle specifies the sound Doctrine of which he spake; that 'tis contained in the Gospel the perfect rule of righteousness which he stiles the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, it being a Doctrine revealed from Heaven, wherein the concurrence and command of the Divine Attributes, Wisdom, Power, Mercy, and Justice doth most clearly shine to the Glory of God, 2 Cor. 4.6. Eph. 1.6, 12. and he gives the Title of blessed to God, thereby to signifie his transcendent goodness, in that being infinitely happy in the possession of his own excellencies, without any possible advantage and profit from any Creature, yet he was pleased to give his Son to be our ransom, and with him Grace and Glory to us. The Apostle adds which was committed to me, to distinguish it from the false Doctrine which seducers publisht under the name of the Gospel.
