UNFEIGNED FAITH
The Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy two letters with instructions on his ministry. In 2 Timothy 1:5 Paul said, “When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.”
Unfeigned means to be sincere, without any hypocrisy. It means that your faith is what controls your life.
Timothy was very fortunate to have his mother and grandmother as examples to follow. They were strong women of faith that was unfeigned.
What kind of legacy are we leaving our children and grandchildren? Do they see solid non hypocritical faith that rises up to meet any kind of situation? Do they see us as prayer warriors for their salvation? Do they see us speaking life over others and not being bearers of fear, doubt, and unbelief?
This is the kind of life we should live before our children, grandchildren, and others. Faith should be our constant, just like the north star. It should always be said of us that one can come to us, knowing that we will pray in faith. This example changed Timothy and it will change your family too.
We should talk about our relationship with the Lord with the family. It may not be easy at first because so many are caught up in the world. If we don’t, then we are not truly concerned about them.
Be a person of sincere, unfeigned faith for the Lord. He will honor it.
