Romans 10:17 (KJV) “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
As followers of Jesus, Christians are called to live by faith. In reality, we all possess different
measures of faith. The question is: Is there a certain measure of faith one is required to have? How
do you increase your faith?
Today, we would like to share practical ways to help you grow your faith.:
1.Study the Bible
The Bible is God’s word, and studying it daily, not merely perusing through is instrumental
to faith development. We must be intentional, consistent, and committed. This can be
achieved through listening to audio Bibles or Christ-centered sermons that inspire deeper
study. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 (KJV)
2. Surround Yourself with People Who Edify You
We need to spend time with those who speak words of faith and encouragement. Avoid the
company of “faith-sap suckers” those who promote unbelief and discouragement. Spending time
with doubters and unbelievers can lead to spiritual complacency and weaken your own faith.
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” 1
Thessalonians 5:11 (KJV)
These principles and others; are key to helping your faith grow from strength to strength.
Reflection:
How intentional are you in studying the Word of God? Do your friends encourage or stifle the growth of your faith?
Prayer:
Lord, I pray that You help us apply the things that nourish and strengthen our faith rather
than those that cause it to shrink. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
