EXCEEDINGLY GROWING FAITH
2Thessalonians 1:3 (NKJV)
“We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other.”
Faith and love grow together, because walking in love is the works, or corresponding action of faith (Jam. 2:17-18).
Galatians 5:6 AMP
For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
How will this take place?
1). Faith comes by hearing the Word (Rom. 10:17).
2). Faith grows by watching and praying with thanksgiving (Rom. 4:17-21).
Proverbs 4:20-21 NKJV
My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;
3). Faith is established by manifesting the answer to prayer.
When your faith produces the answer to prayer, it becomes established and so becomes a stepping-stone to a higher level of faith (Heb. 6:11-12).
Romans 1:17 AMP
For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. [Hab. 2:4.]
