Today’s Word from God’s Word-Genuine

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Genuine.

The meaning of genuine is something that is authentic.

A person with a genuine faith is not perfect, but they are sincere about living out their faith in a way that honors God. They are motivated by God’s love to live for His glory.

One of life’s realities that bring genuine faith to light is a trial-some kind of hardship that comes into our life. It could be sickness, grief, or some kind of persecution. God is at work in times of testing.

Peter was addressing believers experiencing hardship, and he encouraged them with these words on First Peter 1:6 through 8.

“In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

Discover how the word “Genuine” can have an impact on your life in the Year of God’s Word.
