Paul wrote that faith comes by hearing and hearing comes through the word of God. James wrote faith without works is dead (jas 2:17). If you devote yourself to hearing the word of God and then go out do what you hear, you will naturally increase in faith not even realize it. Because your so caught up in your relationship with God you don't have time to think about your "level" of faith. Hearing the word God will cause you to think differently and when God can get you the think like he thinks, you will be transformed (Ro 12:2). You can't name the levels of faith because there are none. Faith is something that just is, and it either grows and multiplies or it becomes dormant and dies. So make the choice to increase in faith and grow closer to God. |

xlence0221, I was struck by how similar your post was to the statement I am posting beneath it. Can you guess the source of the second statement? Here is yours: " Paul wrote that faith comes by hearing and hearing comes through the word of God. James wrote faith without works is dead (jas 2:17). If you devote yourself to hearing the word of God and then go out do what you hear, you will naturally increase in faith not even realize it. Because your so caught up in your relationship with God you don't have time to think about your "level" of faith. Hearing the word God will cause you to think differently and when God can get you the think like he thinks, you will be transformed (Ro 12:2). You can't name the levels of faith because there are none. Faith is something that just is, and it either grows and multiplies or it becomes dormant and dies. So make the choice to increase in faith and grow closer to God." Here is the other statement: "Having, therefore, been thus justified and made the friends and domestics of God,[Eph. 2:19] advancing from virtue to virtue,[Ps. 83:8] they are renewed, as the Apostle says, day by day,[See 2 Cor. 4:16] that is, mortifying the members[Col. 3:5] of their flesh, and presenting them as instruments of justice unto sanctification,[Rom. 6:13, 19] they, through the observance of the commandments of God and of the Church, faith cooperating with good works, increase in that justice received through the grace of Christ and are further justified, as it is written: He that is just, let him be justified still;[Rev. 22:11] and, Be not afraid to be justified even to death; and again, Do you see that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only?[James 2:24] This increase of justice holy Church asks for when she prays: "Give unto us, O Lord, an increase of faith, hope and charity."
