What is Sincerity?
Eagerness to do what is right with transparent motives.
It's related to the motivational gift of Prophesy Scripture Text: "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently." - 1 Peter 1:22 Some of the Attributes: Desiring to do what is right with pure motives. (a.c.e.) Having motives that are transparent. Doing things because I desire God's gain and fear loss to His reputation. Having a genuine concern to benefit the lives of others. Questions to ask yourself: 1. When purchasing a gift, do you do so after considering what that person gave you? 2. Do you enjoy doing things which will go unnoticed as an expression of faithfulness and love for another? 3. Who are you excited about helping to make successful? 4. Do you invite prominent people into your home to enhance your reputation? 5. Are you quick to acknowledge when you are wrong and take steps to correct it? 6. Do you grieve over the hurts you have caused others or simply ask forgiveness to free your conscience? Projects and Bible Study Questions to help instill this quality: Doing right for the wrong reasons is hypocrisy. What did Jesus have to say about this? Describe how sincerity can turn into hypocrisy. |
