SINCERITY

SINCERITY

SINCERITY is one of the

GREATEST single qualities

That a person can have

Sincerity is defined as

The quality of being

FREE from pretense, from deceit

Or hypocrisy

What a fine quality

To have

Have you ever heard

OF insincere love

In Romans 12

Paul tells us,

“LOVE MUST be sincere

Hate what is evil

CLING to what is GOOD

BE DEVOTED to one another

In brotherly love

HONOR one another

ABOVE yourselves”                                              Romans 12:9-10

What could be MORE IMPORTANT

Than to be called “SINCERE”

It means that you are HONESR

It means that you are genuine

IT MEANS

That you are the REAL DEAL

And we know

That being sincere

Will draw us CLOSER to God

FOR it is a quality

That GOD HIMSELF had

“And since we have

A GREAT PRIEST

OVER the HOUSE of GOD

Let us

Draw near to God

With a SINCERE HEART

IN FULL assurance of FAITH

Having our hearts sprinkled

To cleanse us

From a guilty conscience

And having our bodies washed

WITH PURE WATER”                                                     Romans 10:21-22

And so our SINCERITY

Brings us CLOSER to GOD

-A QUALITY OF GOD HIMSELF

What could be

BETTER than that

And we should

ALWAYS serve the Lord

In sincerity

ALWAYS serve the Lord

In honesty and truth

“Now therefore

FEAR the LORD

And serve him in sincerity

And in truth”                                                                    Joshua 24:14

“Therefore

Let us keep the feast

NOT with old leaven

NEITHER with the leaven

Of malice and wickedness

But with the UNLEAVENED bread

OF SINCERITY and truth”                                               1 Corinthians 5:8

Dear Lord

We thank you

For the gifts

Of honesty, sincerity, and truth

That you

Have bestowed on us

And we OFFER them

Back to you

IN SERVICE

FOR THE BUILDING UP

OF YOUR KINGDOM
