Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). But where does mankind get faith? It says in Romans 12:3, that God dealt to every man (individual) the measure (portion) of faith. Can faith be increased? Jesus said the centurion had great faith (Matthew 8:5-13) Peter started strong when he got out of the boat but when he became afraid and doubted, he started to sink, Jesus said "you of little faith, why did you doubt"? So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17). It is our responsibility to increase our faith by hearing, believing and acting on the Word of God. For we live by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) If you do nothing with your measure of faith, you are like the man who dug a hole and buried his talent (coin), which displeased his master. You should be like the other two who increased their talents (faith) which pleased their master. (Matthew 25:14-30) F. F. Bosworth said, “Most Christians feed their bodies three hot meals a day, their spirits one cold snack a week, and then wonder why they are so weak in faith.” You need to have strong faith in this messed up world.
