2 Tim 1:5
…I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee,…
It is possible to have insincere faith. Fake faith that pretends to believe that God is in control, but deep down doubting God’s ability to take care or even notices our need or problems. There is also Fake faith, like Simon in the book of Acts who offered money to receive the power of the Holy Spirit that he may also lay hands on people. Fake faith like Ananias and Sapphira who pretended to give all they had, yet kept back part of the price. Jesus exposed fake faith in the Pharisee, calling them “Hypocrites! For you are like whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness'' There are many who call themselves Christians, but in the day of judgment, Christ will say, “Depart from me you worker of iniquity”. Timothy possessed a faith that was true and rooted in believing Christ as his Savior and redeemer. His unfeigned faith was handed down by his mother and grandmother who also believed and lived the teaching of Christ. Faith is to believe God that He is and is able to do that which we have committed to Him. To believe that no matter the darkness or hardship we find ourselves that He watches over us. Faith is submitting to the will of God regardless of what the last chapter holds. Many have given their lives having an unfeigned faith, knowing that there was a better life here after.
