They’ve just wrapped their faith up in a napkin, so to speak, and hid it. Then your faith grows according to what you do with it.Ī lot of people have done with their faith what the fellow in the Bible did with his one talent (see Matthew 25:25). He gives to every man the measure of faith. He doesn’t give one person more faith than He gives another. You see, God gets everyone started off the same way. Every believer already has a measure of the God-kind of faith. 12:3) it’s not something that He is going to do. He has given to every believer the measure, or the same measure, of faith. It is the “gift of God.” But He has given it to every believer. Ephesians 2:8Īccording as GOD HATH DEALT TO EVERY MAN the measure of faith. So the first thing I want you to know is this: Every believer has been given a measure-the same measure-of the God-kind of faith.įor by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD.
Folks often see someone prospering according to the Word, whether in his health, his finances, his family, and so forth, and they get the mistaken impression that God must have given that person more faith.
In teaching on the subject of faith, it is important to show people from the Scriptures that God has not blessed one person with more faith than He has blessed someone else.
