As the mother of Timothy (who Paul calls his ‘true son in faith’), we learn that Eunice raised him in faith from birth. If both his parents were Jewish that may not be such an important point to raise, but his father was Greek (as noted in Acts 16:1-2) and his mother was Jewish. We can’t know how difficult it was to have Timothy know the Holy Scriptures, but through whatever method Eunice instilled in him a ‘sincere faith’. As mothers that is our purpose from God to raise our children with wisdom and knowledge from God, even though we may have struggles of our own that make that difficult.
