Do you have growing faith? Is your faith becoming larger and stronger all the time? Is it bigger today than last week, last month, and last year? Our faith should always be growing. We should constantly increase our capacity to believe.We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other. (2 Thessalonians 1:3 NKJV)
This verse holds the key to knowing if your faith is growing: your love will be abounding. Faith and love are so intertwined, it is impossible to separate them. Paul told the Galatians, “… what matters is faith working through love.” (Galatians 5:6 CSB)
The only way our faith works is through love. Our love for God and our love for one another. If our love is growing, our faith is growing.
How to Have Growing Faith
How do you grow your faith? Is there a key to growing your faith? The answer is, “Yes, there is a key to growing your faith.” Peter gives us the key in his second letter. “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18 CSB)
God commands us to grow in our knowledge of grace and of our Lord and Savior. This makes sense in light of Romans 10:17, “So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.” (CSB)
Faith comes from hearing the message about Christ. The message of Christ is from the first verse in Genesis to the last verse in Revelation. This is why the Word of God is the key to growing in faith.
Five Steps to Have Growing Faith
Here are the steps to have growing faith:
- Daily Bible Study
- Daily Prayer
- Daily obedience
- Daily exercising your faith
- Daily pray in the spirit
The steps to have growing faith are done daily. Why daily? Because our faith is either growing or shrinking. There is nothing status quo in the spirit. God does not intend for us to be spiritually idle.
Do these five steps daily and you will have growing faith. The more we enlarge our faith, the more power our faith will have. Let’s determine today to grow our faith so that we can overcome the world. (1 John 5:4)
Prayer
Heavenly Father. I thank you for your grace. I know your grace has empowered me to grow my faith. Holy Spirit, lead and guide me as I daily do the five steps necessary for me to have growing faith. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
