Scripture strongly teaches that we are to have a sincere faith, without hypocrisy. Jesus called ordinary people to follow Him, and invested time with a few to understand and practice His teaching. It’s impossible to be perfect but we can get better with the way we live out our faith. I wonder if one form of evangelism / discipleship is to be open about our struggles, being vulnerable and sharing our issues. If we are perceived as always having life put together, how will others know that we care or understand? 1 Timothy 1:5 - The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. I hope others can see our sincere love for our Lord, that there is no hidden agenda behind a conversation, that you and I are approachable and have others’ best interests in mind. I hope God is honored by our desire to be authentic with our faith, hope and love.
