Grow In Your Faith

As a believer, are you growing in your faith? Don't be satisfied to remain where you are without growing in Christ. "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3:18). 

Your growth in Christ involves grace and knowledge. The 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 Christ. Knowledge must also include grace, which is the 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 Christ should lead to increased faith in Christ.

Grow also in the grace of Christ. Learn to trust more and more in the grace of God in Christ. God allows us to be in situations beyond our ability, that we may not trust in ourselves but in Christ. Our impossibilities are always His possibilities. With Him all things are possible. Jesus said, "For without me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). That lesson leads us to grow in Christ.
