What is the meaning of the biblical figure "Eunice" in the Bible?
According to Lois, Timothy's mother and grandmother were named Scriptures.Paul wrote that he may be filled with joy as he remembers Timothy's tears.I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that began in your mother and grandmother, and now dwells in you as well.God aptly named her because she was able to overcome her fear of the Jewish, thanks to the root of her name which means victory.It means "in God's honor."
Even though Timothy was taught the Scriptures by his mother, he was not saved through her witness.We know that Paul cried when he wrote "To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord" as he considered himself to be Timothy's spiritual father.God gave the increase of Timothy's salvation because his mother and grandmother watered and fertilized.The mother and grandmother of Timothy may have been led by Paul to save faith.Even if there is no interest yet in the child being saved, Timothy showed that teaching children from an early age is so important.We are told to train children in the Lord and leave the results to God.Paul wrote "as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you've been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus."
The lives of Timothy's mother and grandmother must have pleased God.They knew the Scriptures well enough to teach them to Timothy, and he must have known them so well that he became an Evangelist.According to the record of Timothy and his mother, teaching children at an early age will educate them in the Word of God and we know from Scripture that God's Word will not be without effect on the hearer and reader.To make the children of God for the glory of the Almighty, it takes a person with God's Word and the Holy Ghost.God gets all the glory in this way.
The importance of children hearing and being taught the Word of God is shown by the fact that most Christians are saved at a very early age."You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, walking by the way, and lying down," says God.
