Faith-A Growing Proposition

A real Biblical faith.

1 John 5:4
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

1. We need the word of God to grow our faith.

Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Proverbs 3: 5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

2. Problems and various trials are needed.

1 Peter 1: 6-7
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been [a]grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

3. Growing our faith needs people.

Luke 22: 31-32
And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

4. We need purpose in our life to grow faith.

5. The perspective of faith

Luke 17:5
And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
