Why Increase Faith? To hold on to what we have If we do not increase, we will decrease (Mt. 13:12) To keep from departing the faith If we do not increase, we will depart (1 Tim. 1:19; 4:1; 6:21; 2 Tim. 3:8; Heb. 10:39)
Why Increase Faith? To accomplish greater things If we do not increase, we will hold back (Mt. 25:25; Mk. 4:40) To fortify ourselves If we do not increase, we will be weak (1 Pet. 1:7; 5:9)
Is My Faith Increasing? Am I more trusting of God’s word? Am I more obedient to God’s word? Am I more evangelistic with God’s word?
