Grow in Your Faith

Growing in your faith is about your relationship with God. Don't be satisfied to remain where you are spiritually without growing. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). That statement summarizes your growth in faith. 

Growing in your faith involves grace and knowledge. That knowledge comes from your Bible. A proper diet is necessary to maintain good health. Likewise, feeding upon God's word in the Bible is necessary for your spiritual growth in faith. Knowledge must also include grace, which is the unmerited favor of God.

Knowledge of God's word brings faith. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). You believe what you know is true. Increased knowledge of God should lead to increased faith and confidence in God. That is the foundation of your growth in faith. 

Growing in your faith is about the grace of God. Learn to trust more and more in the grace of God. God allows you to be in situations beyond your ability, that you may not trust in yourself but in him. Your impossibilities are always his possibilities. With God all things are possible. Jesus said, For without me you can do nothing (John 15:5). That lesson leads you to grow in your faith, depending upon him in all circumstances.
