The faith that deserves to be shared.

We have the opportunity to leave a legacy of faith. Just think, if you have a boy or girl nearby, that's your chance.

I thank God, whom I have served with a clear conscience since my forebears, that I continually remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy. 5 Recalling the sincere faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

2 Timothy 1:3-5

If there is anything of great value that we can pass on to the generations, it is our faith. And right now we have the opportunity to pass this faith on to the little ones, to the children, to pass on the conviction that God is who He says He is through His word and that He will fulfill everything He has promised in it. Let's remember young Timothy. He developed a strong relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, and this didn't just happen. Timothy grew up with two great examples: his mother and his grandmother. Both were consecrated and testimonies of the Lord's love. And this is an example we can apply to others. We'll look at some ways to leave a legacy of faith for future generations.

The first and most important thing is to transmit and teach the word of God. Children need to know God's vision in all its forms, such as God's vision of wealth, God's vision of needs, and how God can give us direction in life.

The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness;
The world, and those who dwell in it.

Psalm 24:1

19 And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding.

Proverbs 3:5

Another way we can leave a legacy of faith in the lives of others is by being a good role model. This means that the way we live communicates what we believe about the Lord Jesus Christ. To this we can also add how we serve God reflects how we also serve others; our actions demonstrate the truth of our faith.

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 2:26

It is also important to practice intercession and pray for them, since children will never forget that we have them in our thoughts and that they are important to us, especially in our daily prayers. This is part of communicating God's love, and we must exhaust all necessary ways to demonstrate God's love, since it is important to show them that we love them just as God loves them: unconditionally.

It is very important that we be wise in guiding future generations to the feet of Christ. In the word of God, we have many examples, such as the case of Paul. The apostle was not married and did not have children, but for many, he has been a father figure, a spiritual father. And that is the role we can adopt with respect to children.

I am not writing this to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. 15 For though you may have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you will not have many fathers, For in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. 16 Therefore, I urge you to imitate me.

1 Corinthians 4:14-16
