Just a Minute!

Is your faith real?

A Spirit-inspired passage from Paul’s second letter to Timothy can help you know.

As you read through the list from 2 Timothy 3, jot down what behaviors apply to you. Confess and repent of known sin. And simply start over.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Romans 8:1

Lover of self (narcissistic, selfish)
Lover of money (greedy)
Boastful
Arrogant
Blasphemers (If you blaspheme God’s name then you are not a believer. Blaspheme is forgiven by repentenance and confessing Jesus as your Lord, and Savior) *
Disobedient to parents
Unthankful
Unholy
Without natural affection (sexual behaviors that are in defiant opposition to God’s design)
Unforgiving
Slanderer
Without self-control
Fierce
Not lovers of good
Traitors
Conceited
Lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
Holding a form of godliness but having denied its power (professing faith but showing no evidence of faith-living opposed to God)

Here is what true believers should look like-

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,gentleness, and self-control…”

Galatians 5:22 & 23

And this, from Jesus-

Share the Good News in your world!

Isaiah 52:7

* Blasphemy is the intentional contempt of God expressed in thought, word or deed. It is the denial of God, His Name, Word and character.
