The Bible teaches how to grow your faith.
If your faith feels small, uncertain, or inconsistent, you are not alone — and Scripture is remarkably specific about the conditions in which genuine faith deepens.
Grow Faith
Pillar 2 - Growing in Faith
This is the truth in its simplest form — the same words printed inside every Grow Faith Truth Card:
Do You Not Know?
Faith Is Confidence In What We Hope For And
Assurance About What We Do Not See.
Have You Not Heard?
So Then Faith Comes By Hearing, and
Hearing By The Word of God.
The Choice Is Yours!!
Without Faith It Is Impossible To Please God,
Because Anyone Who Comes To Him
Must Believe That He Exists
And That He Rewards Those
Who Earnestly Seek Him.
In Whom Do You Have Faith?
Are You Growing Your Faith?
“ Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. ” 2 Peter 1:5-7
The Choice Is Yours!!

Do not move past this too quickly.
If this is true, which it is, it changes everything about your life.
What Scripture Says About Growing Faith
Growing your faith could best be described as a consistent way of living before God based on complete trust in God. This trust does not depend on desired outcomes, but rather on the immutable character of God. His sovereignty, wisdom (omniscience), power (omnipotence) and steadfastness (omnipresence) are the foundation of His nature. The capstone is His gift of reconciliation through Jesus Christ.
Faith is an active relational experience based on dependence through trust. “By faith Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.” It finds expression in obedience. “By faith Abraham obeyed God when he was called.” Hebrews 11:8
Abraham had faith in God without knowing the details of God’s direction. But his confidence in the promises of God produced obedience, nonetheless. Hebrews 11:1 states “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
Christ further describes the power of faith in Matthew 17:20: “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Our salvation is given through faith in the works of Christ. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift from God – not by works so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6. Pray patience and endurance will grow your faith. Ask that your faith become enduring according to His will. Pray the faith of Christ be bestowed upon you. Are you growing your faith through Christ?
What Others Ask
Q. How do I strengthen my faith in God?
A. Romans 10:17 says 'faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of God.' Faith grows by exposure to God's revealed truth — through Scripture, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and community with other believers. It also grows through action: every time you step in obedience before you feel ready, faith is exercised and strengthened.
Q. Why does my faith feel weak or inconsistent?
A. Faith fluctuates with circumstances, spiritual dryness, unconfessed sin, or neglect of the means God provides for its growth. Weak faith is not necessarily false faith — even the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith (Luke 17:5). The remedy is not to manufacture feelings of faith but to return to its source: God's Word, prayer, the Holy Spirit and the community of believers.
Q. What does 'faith the size of a mustard seed' mean?
A. In Matthew 17:20, Jesus says even tiny, genuine faith can accomplish extraordinary things through God. The point is not the size of your faith but the size of your God. A mustard seed of real, active trust in an omnipotent God is more powerful than confident self-reliance. The object of faith matters more than the measure of it.
Q. What is the relationship between faith and doubt in the Bible?
A. Doubt and faith are not opposites — unbelief is. Thomas doubted but brought his doubt to Jesus and emerged with deeper faith (John 20:28). Honest questions and intellectual struggle are part of a living faith. What God asks is not the absence of questions but the willingness to keep seeking Him through them. Honest doubt, brought to God, often deepens faith.
Q. What spiritual disciplines help a Christian grow in faith?
A. The classic disciplines — Scripture reading, prayer, fasting, worship, community, service, and solitude — are the means God uses to form faith over time. They do not earn favor but create the conditions in which God works. Consistency matters more than intensity. A daily rhythm of small acts of seeking God produces deeper faith than occasional spiritual bursts.
Digging Deeper Introduction
Faith is the starting point of the Christian life. Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." Your life in Christ begins with faith, not works, not religious activity, but faith in Jesus Christ himself. “Faith comes from hearing and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17
Saving faith is more than just intellectual agreement. It also requires an internal heart belief and an external confession of belief. As Romans 10:8-10 explains: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Faith for conversion is not a one-time event. Faith continues in a daily reliance on God by opening the door to God that our sin had closed. Ephesians 3:12 assures us: “In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” Romans 5:1 adds: “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
