You Then, My Son, Be Strong In The Grace That Is In Jesus Christ

You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules.

2 Timothy 1:1-5

Paul wrote Timothy, “I am reminded of your sincere faith, which lived in your grandmother Lois and in your Mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.”

Faith isn’t inherited, but it is shared. Timothy’s mother and grandmother shared their faith with him, and he believed.

When we encourage those close to us to have hope in Jesus, we offer them a legacy of love. Oh, to share Him with those who come after us!

When we share our faith, we share the greatest treasure of all.
