OCTOBER 1 READING…2 TIMOTHY 1
We who are Christians each have a heritage of faith. Whether you are a first-generation follower of Jesus, or your family has been following Jesus for generations…we all have those faithful people who came before us. We have such a gracious Heavenly Father who has worked through people long before we arrived on this earth…and these believers faithfully passed on genuine biblical faith in how they lived and the truth they spoke. Paul reminded Timothy of the blessings of God in his life as he recalled the faith of Timothy’s mother and grandmother. Because of those who faithfully shared with us we need to stay the course…but also for those who will come behind us we need to walk in our faith. We cannot do this because of fear, for that is not how God works through us…He has given of His power, His love, and His disciplined mind. We walk in what God has given us, unashamed of our wonderful Savior and what He has done. Since the Lord Jesus has saved us from eternal death…we should shout of His goodness at every opportunity that He provides for us. We do this not from an emotional experience but based on sound doctrine that demonstrate our faith and love in Christ Jesus. Don’t worry about those who might turn against you for following Christ…many will, as they turned away from the Apostle Paul. The Lord will take care of these individuals…we are to keep living Jesus, sharing Jesus, and loving them in Jesus.
Please share your thoughts.
