THERE ARE VARIOUS DEGREES OF FAITH

STEP ONE, STEP TWO

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

DAILY FIRE!
The just shall live by faith.

There are various degrees of faith. We may begin with a limited vision of what to trust God for; or with only one prayer, “Oh God, help me!” I want to help you go up a kind of staircase, step by step, looking to God for an ever-wider area of your circumstances. Your faith may follow a process something like this:

First Step: Believing that something is true. James reminds those who believe in one God that the devils also believe the same thing, which is not too encouraging! Martha believed in the resurrection at the last day; but Christ wanted faith that leaped to resurrection there and then.

Second Step: Believing that a person is genuine. Nicodemus said: “You are a teacher come from God” (John 3:2). Jesus wanted a higher brand of faith than being regarded as a teacher. He talked to Nicodemus about believing in a new way; a way that Nicodemus had never conceived.
