Building Up Your Faith
Building your faith begins with the foundation of Jesus Christ. Everything we do, as believers, is driven by faith. This faith is the active process of believing God’s promises—moving from the unseen to the seen. It is the only thing that truly pleases Him.
As Hebrews 11:6 reminds us, it is impossible to please God without faith; we must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
While many believers struggle to actually believe, we can establish a stronger foundation by hearing God’s voice through His Word.
Just as Romans 10:17 states that "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God," we must desire the scriptures like a newborn baby desires milk, recognizing that spiritual sustenance is more vital than physical food.
To maintain a vibrant faith, we must treat the Word of God as essential "fuel". Just as a car stops running without gas or a body weakens without food, our faith requires daily filling to function effectively. We are cautioned in Hebrews 3:8 not to harden our hearts but to remain sensitive to His voice through scripture and prayer.
Furthermore, Jude 1:20 encourages us to build ourselves up on our "most holy faith" by praying in the Holy Spirit. This deep, Spirit-led communion acknowledges our total dependence on God rather than our own mindsets. However, we must also remember that according to Galatians 5:6, faith works through love. Without love, even the most "correct" actions amount to nothing.
Finally, building faith is much like physical training at a gym; it requires resistance to grow.
Scripture teaches that trials are not meant to destroy us but to refine us, much like fire purifies gold. James 1:2-3 instructs us to count it all joy when we face trials, knowing that the testing of our faith produces patience. When pressure arises, leading with joy—rather than grumbling or avoidance—allows us to submit our walk to Him and trust His strength over our own.
Ultimately, building faith is an individual responsibility. Just as one person cannot exercise for another, you must personally stay in the Word, pray in the Spirit, and joyfully endure the testing that strengthens your walk with Christ.
