To be strong in faith, you must know the strong foundation for faith. Some people look to their feelings for strong faith. They are soon disappointed, because feelings change fast. Others look to unusual experiences for strong faith. However, those experiences are rare and soon become only a memory.
To be strong in faith, focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. "We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish" (Hebrews 12:2, NLT). The Holy Spirit makes Christ real in the hearts of people by faith. Faith is a personal relationship with Christ, enabled by God's Spirit, "for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance" (1 Thessalonians 1:5, NLT).
Be strong in faith through the word of God. Doubting the truth of the Bible, weakens your faith. Standing on the promises of God found in your Bible, strengthens your faith. Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God works through the word of God, that you may be strong in faith. The sure foundation to be strong in faith is nothing less than the promises of God in Christ.
Be stronger in faith as you exercise it. Faith is action. It obeys the word of God. Faith worships, prays, ministers, and receives the promises of God. Faith is active, not passive. It does the will of God, looking unto Jesus. You can be strong in faith.
