The Faith You Have, It’s Not Your Own

God does ASSIGN us our faith according to the measure that God has assigned.
“For by the Grace given to me, I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, † EACH ACCORDING TO THE MEASURE OF FAITH THAT GOD HAS ASSIGNED.”

Romans 12:3
His Grace overflows FOR us and INSIDE of us with His Faith & Love.
Ephesians 3:19-20 – “And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who can do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.”

The Word of God teaches us that our Faith is a gift from God, which we receive through His abundant Grace. We cannot earn or deserve this Faith, but it is freely given to us by our loving Creator. Therefore, we must always remember that our salvation and spiritual growth are not dependent on our efforts or merits, but on the unmerited favor of God. Let us humbly submit ourselves to His will and trust in His Grace to guide us on our journey of faith.
But I was given grace because I had disbelieved, and the grace of our Lord was poured out on me with the love and faith that are in Christ Jesus. Because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief & the Grace of our Lord overflowed for me with THE FAITH & LOVE THAT ARE IN Christ Jesus. ”
-1 Timothy 1:13–14

“Faith is the ASSURANCE of things Hoped for, the conviction (evidence) of things NOT SEEN.”
-Hebrews 11:1
*How do we have assurance? How do we have conviction/evidence?
Only through the Spirit of God, who works in the unseen realm!
We can’t muster up assurance, nor can we muster up conviction or evidence apart from God.

He is our Faith.
God gives Faith

That’s why the apostles said to the Lord:

“Increase our faith!”
Luke 17:5.

Jesus is the founder & Perfecter of FAITH.

“Looking to Jesus, the founder, and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before he endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”- Hebrews 12:2

“Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are SUFFICIENT IN OURSELVES TO CLAIM ANYTHING at COMING FROM US, but our SUFFICIENCY IS FROM God…” – 2 Corinthians 3:4 -‬ 5
