Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Today, let’s talk about how we grow our faith!
Without faith, we can’t believe God for anything at all. Period. And without faith, we can’t please God.
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
So it’s safe to say that faith is very, very important!
God has given each of us a measure of faith. It’s part of who we are as believers. None of us lacks faith.
Romans 12:3 (NKJV) 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
What we do with that measure of faith is up to us.
We can hide it away. We can leave it alone. Or we can grow it.
Just like a muscle, faith needs to be fed and exercised in order to grow. So how do we grow our faith? How do we take that measure of faith that God has given us and make it bigger, so that living by faith becomes a way of life, instead of something that we struggle with?
We feed that faith with the only thing that can sustain it and grow it; God’s word.
God’s word is our food. It’s our sustenance. It’s what keeps us thriving, growing and maturing.
God’s word will take us from being spiritual infants to becoming mature adults in Christ. As we feed on His word, we will grow in our faith, and we will begin to see things differently. Things will start to “click” and we will begin to have a deeper understanding of spiritual things. And our walk with God will flourish!
The things of God will become the most important part of our lives as we spend time in His word and our faith grows.
And as our faith grows, we will find it easier to step out and do things that God asks us to do, without it having to always make sense to our logic and our intellect.
It’s kind of like our spiritual life is a chain made up of links, and our faith is the most important link. If our faith is weak, so will the chain be weak. But if our faith is strong, the whole chain will be strong!
And as our faith becomes stronger, God will give us new eyes, new ears and a new heart that will see, hear and beat with a desire to walk closely with Him and please Him in everything that we do.
