For Mother’s Day this past Sunday, Jason challenged moms to see the significance of their role in imparting sincere faith to their children. In 2 Timothy 1:5, Paul reminded Timothy that his sincere faith dwelt first in his grandmother and mother. The Bible defines faith as the conviction of things that are true combined with a deep level of trust and value. Christian faith isn’t simply wishful thinking or positive thinking, but it’s exemplified by genuinely standing on the truth of scripture in the midst of life’s difficulties.
Our faith is ignited and sustained by growing in our knowledge of Jesus through the Bible. By rooting our lives in the scriptures, we avoid becoming shipwrecked or swerving from the faith.
Is your faith based more on what you want in life or in the promises of the Bible? Does your life exemplify a faith that looks like something that you are convicted is true? Is it obvious to outsiders that your faith is something you trust and treasure?
