There are days when my faith is strong, which is most of the time, and other days when it’s not. Among and between Christians, you can tell that there’s a wide spectrum of faith experience. We're all at different places in our faith journey - our walk with Christ.

I wonder from time to time how does faith in God happen? How does a relationship with Jesus deepen or wane? What makes our faith grow?

This I know about faith from experience and Scripture. God intends for us to show it, grow it, and share it. Faith multiplies and becomes more robust when we use it. That means, simply, being an witness to Christ’s love in the world: sharing the saving Gospel with others; loving and forgiving our neighbors; and loving and praying to God.

Growing in faith is just as important as growing in any other part of life.

1. Read, study and reflect on the Bible, which is the Word of God, and apply its principles and teachings in your life.
2. Fellowship and gather for study, prayer, praise and worship with other Christians.
3. Spend time each day in prayer. Ask for God's forgiveness and blessing. Seek his counsel and guidance.
4. Ministry. Be a blessing to others. Do good to others; help those in need and those who are hurting with love, charity and compassion. Share the Gospel - the good news of Jesus Christ - with others.

Faith is a gift, a mystery, and a calling. We have been called to this faith by Christ, and while there is much we may never understand about it, we know that it's good and true. We know by faith that God loves us; that he gives our lives meaning and purpose.

Finally, I implore you to use your faith to the utmost. Don't let it become inactive. Be an active Christian through whom others can see the love of Jesus. Be a blessing to the world. And remember that Jesus is with you, always.
