READ | 2 Timothy 2:1-2,Matthew 28:19-20
As I’ve gotten older one of the things I enjoy most about mornings is waking up and having a nice cup of coffee with my wife as we chat at the breakfast table. We talk about all sorts of things but many of our best conversations center on our faith. Recently we were talking and had a nice conversation that focused on a question of faith that is relevant for all of us – what are we doing with our faith?
The answer to that question was never intended to be a secret; rather, the right answer is we’re to pass it on. A quick reading of 2 Timothy 2:1-2 shows the Apostle Paul writing to a young pastor named Timothy and advising him what he should do with his faith. In this passage he says, what you’ve heard me say about the grace of God pass it on to reliable men who will also be able to pass it on to others.
Friends, this is OUR RESPONSIBILITY. Think about it – what did Jesus say in Matthew 28:19-20? He said His followers are to go and make disciples, helping them to be identified with Christ (through baptism) and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded.
My question and challenge this week is this – who are you passing your faith onto? And will you pray with me that God would show you how He wants you living out this command in your life?
May God get the glory as we learn to love and obey Him!
