Build your Faith in God

Divider
Building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.

Jude 1:20


All those who follow Christ Jesus as Lord have some measure of faith. Our faith in Him gives us the assurance of our salvation and our future home in eternity. Yet, our faith in God needs to grow if we are ever to become spiritually mature. Building our faith isn’t easy. Instead it’s a lifetime journey of ups and downs that every Christian will experience until Jesus calls them home.

Our faith isn’t supposed to remain stagnant and the same year after year. Our faith will be stretched, tested, and put under fiery trials. At times, we will feel like our faith is fragile and futile. Other days, we will feel our faith strengthened and emboldened. Yet, faith isn’t built up on our feelings. Our faith in God will be evident by what we do and faith is built on:

The Word of God.
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:15)

The indwelling presence of the Spirit.
“Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith” (Galatians 3:5)

The trials and testing of the life.
“So that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 1:7)

The word of our testimony and of others in the faith community.
“And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” (Revelation 12:11)

Prayer

Dear Lord, I want to grow in my faith. Lead me according to Your word, the Holy Spirit, the trials, and the word of my testimony towards spiritual maturity. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In His Service,
