Virtues

Responsibility

Christian mothers have an awesome privilege: passing down a Christian heritage to their children. Eunice greatly influenced the spread of Christianity. Although married to an unbelieving Greek husband, she and her Jewish mother, Lois, took their responsibility seriously and raised a young man to love and serve God. Timothy’s foundation was set. He took up the mantle of faith and became a famous evangelist under the mentorship of the apostle Paul in the early Christian church.

Eunice serves as a positive example. She challenges our responsibility to accept and model a living faith that is passed on to our children. Eunice received the highest commendation from Paul for her contagious and sincere faith. In great anticipation we await the day God Himself will commend us for resolutely extending His kingdom.
