what's some good ways to strengthen my faith as a Christian?

Answer 1

The most important way to strengthen you faith is to talk to God and listen to what He says. Read your Bible daily. Second Timothy 2:15, says to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Go to a Bible-believing church.Be careful, because there are many out there that claim to be, and yet do not walk the talk. Finally, surround yourself with Christian prayer partners. Let them know when you need prayer, and pray for them when they need it. These will help you become a stronger Christian.

Answer 2

1. Fellowship with other Christians.
2. Prayer and Worship
3. Studying the Bible VERY regularly.
4. Evangelizing.
I think the 1st 3 are very important, the 4th will come when you are ready......Always ask for the Holy Spirit to guide you in all your endeavors.

Answer 3

skylightdan1,

The only way to strengthen our faith is to use it, just like exercising strengthens our muscles.

I don’t believe, as many people do, that you can increase your faith through use, but I do believe the more you experience God’s faithfulness the more confidence you have in Him. It is our knowledge of God and His ways that increases.

In the beginning, our knowledge of God and our faith is weak, but God rewards our meager ability with easy answers and easy grace. As we mature, we use our faith for greater and greater things, and we are increasingly expected to exercise our faith over long periods of time to see the object of our faith become reality.

God bless.

Answer 4

How can a person acquire faith?

Romans 10:17: “Faith follows the thing heard.” (Compare Acts 17:11, 12; John 4:39-42; 2 Chronicles 9:5-8. A person must first find out what the Bible says, and he will strengthen his conviction if he examines it carefully so as to be convinced of its reliability.)

Romans 10:10: “With the heart one exercises faith.” (By meditating on godly things to build up appreciation for them, a person impresses them on his figurative heart.)

Faith is strengthened when a person acts on God’s promises and then sees the evidence of God’s blessing on what he has done.—See Psalm 106:9-12.

Illustration: Perhaps you have a friend of whom you would say: ‘I trust that man. I can count on him to keep his word; and I know that if I have a problem, he will come to my help.’ It is not likely that you would be saying that about anyone you met for the first time yesterday, is it? He would have to be someone with whom you had long association, someone who had proved his dependability time and again. It is similar with religious faith. To have faith, you need to take time to get to know Jehovah and his way of doing things.
When a person becomes well acquainted with the record of Jehovah’s dealings with his servants, he comes to share the viewpoint of Joshua, who said: “You well know with all your hearts and with all your souls that not one word out of all the good words that Jehovah your God has spoken to you has failed. They have all come true for you. Not one word of them has failed.”—Josh. 23:14.
The Bible’s promises of renewed health, resurrection from the dead, and so forth, are fortified by the record of miracles performed by Jesus Christ. These are not fables. Read the Gospel accounts and see the evidence that they bear all the marks of historical authenticity. Geographical locations are named; the names of contemporary secular rulers are given; more than one eyewitness account has been preserved. Meditating on this evidence can strengthen your faith in the Bible’s promises.

Go to the Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses and to their general conventions, and you can then see for yourself evidence that application of Bible counsel transforms lives, that it can make people honest and morally upright, that it can enable people of all races and nationalities to live and work together in a spirit of genuine brotherhood.

Answer 5

I believe Mitch said it best, and these other people have also given great answers too. The folowing Sciptures should help.

Romans 12
2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

2 Corinthians 13
5Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test? 6And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.

1 Thessalonians 5
16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 19Do not put out the Spirit's fire; 20do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21Test everything. Hold on to the good. 22Avoid every kind of evil. 23May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

James 1
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

1 John 4
1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

Answer 6

Find a book that parallels the words of Jesus and Buddha and find the true message from enlighted prophets. The 'christ conscousness" is a level of automatic being, not a man.

Answer 7

Reading the Bible and praying as well as meeting regularly with other Christians for worship, encouragement, and learning.

Answer 8

Reading the bible is really the only way. The rest are extras.

Answer 10

It is good to read your Bible and pray.
It is good to spend time fellowshipping with other Christians.
