Bible Question:
what is faith and how does one grow in faith |
Bible Answer: Hello kongwa, The disciples asked Jesus the same question. Here is the passage. Luke 17:5-10 (ESV) The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" [6] And the Lord said, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. [7] "Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down at table'? [8] Will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink'? [9] Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? [10] So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'" The simple answer is: Do what is expected of you. When God expects something of us, do it. The more we are obedient, the more our faith increases. Steve |
