1 Timothy 1:14
Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Like a newly-born baby, man as to undergo continuous spiritual growth in order to grow in faith and love. As man grown from being a baby, then to a toddler, then a teenager and finally, an adult so should also our life with the Lord Jesus Christ.
God expects us to grow in faith. It is crucial that we grow in faith, because it is impossible to have a relationship with God without it. Faith is one of our most precious possessions and a key to everything important. It is because we have faith that we can receive the commendation and approval of God.
We begin our journey to living a life of faith by asking God for it. It is His will that we have faith, and He is willing to give it to us. Prayer, along with study of the Scriptures, is a vital part of conversation with God.
It is a way of expressing our love, as well as our concerns, to Him. This heartfelt communication with God increases faith.
Understanding these truths of God is a gift from Him. If you understand them, God is calling you to participate in His great plan.
Begin now to develop the living faith that will see you through the trials of this life and into the coming Kingdom of God.
Let us pray +
Lord Jesus, choose today to take refuge in You. I choose to fear the Lord and not man, and I choose obedience over willfulness and submission over pride. I am blessed beyond measure already, and I praise and thank You for all You have provided, knowing that we will lack no good thing as we seek You first above all else. To You be all the honor and glory!
Amen +
Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge…
