- Introduction
- We often use the word faith to indicate a wish or a hope. That is not how it is used in the Bible.
- I Timothy 1:2; Titus 1:4, 13
- “The faith” refers to the gospel.
- Galatians 1:23; 3:23-24
- In reference to our convictions:
- Hebrews 11:6
- Hebrews 11:1-3 – Faith is assurance; conviction.
- Matthew 21:11
- II Timothy 1:12
- Our faith changes over time
- II Peter 1:3-9 – Our faith should grow over time.
- Romans 4:20-22 – Abraham grew in his faith as he served God. Faith and service to God go hand in hand.
- Gideon was outnumbered 450-1 against the Midianites. God helped grow his faith. Judges 6-7
- We can ask God to help grow our faith!
