Sincere

Let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings. – Hebrews 10:22 NET

Sincerity is true, free of hypocrisy and without deception.

The sincere heart speaks without manipulative motives; it is a true and honest expression of thoughts, feelings and emotions. It is also willing to hear the open and honest expression of others. The exchange and communication is of grace with transparent words and open ears.

The sincere faith is certain and convinced that the promises and the work of God are absolutely true and completely sufficient to realize the transformation needed in our lives. It is pure and unadulterated. Its motives are not self-centered; on the contrary its desire is to bring the presence of heaven to earth for the benefit of others and for the glory of God.

Sincere love seeks the pure and perfect motives of God. Its practice is without deceit or hypocrisy, without judgment or guilt. Sincere love demonstrates the desire of God to rescue, redeem and restore his sons and daughters to their original design. It pursues the extension and expansion of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

The aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith. - 1 Timothy 1:5 NET

You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart. – 1 Peter 1:22 NET
