Walking With Jesus: 5 Ways of Building Faith

 

If you are a Christian or someone interested in following this faith, it’s important that you dedicate your life to learning and growing within it.

In a recent year, there were 2.3 billion Christians in the world. This means that there are several people you can fellowship with and learn from and plenty of resources at your disposal.

Building faith is a straightforward process when you use these five tips.

1. Choose The Bible Translation That Works Best For You

Whether you are working on building or restoring faith, the bible will serve as your roadmap.

Download a bible app that features several different translations so you can see which one you prefer. You may also prefer to buy a hard copy version if you prefer to hold it in your hands, mark it up and flip through the pages.

Many English speakers prefer the King James version for a traditional translation or the New International Version (NIV) for more modern speech and explanations.

The Amplified version includes synonyms and definitions to make things clearer. Other versions that you might prefer include the New Revised Standard Edition, the New King James Version, and the Ethiopian Orthodox bible with the apocryphal texts.

2. Study Up On Some Basic Tenets Of The Faith

While everyone has differing opinions and leanings within the faith, there are some basic Christian beliefs that will set your foundation.

Understand the creation story of Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood, Moses freeing his people and receiving the blessing, the birth and life of Jesus, the crucifixion and resurrection, the Ten Commandments, prophecies of Revelations, and other core stories and pillars.

3. Find A Ministry That You Can Follow Along With

Finding faith and growing it is much simpler when you have a ministry that you can follow online or in person.

Reach out to people you know and ask them what church they attend or follow online. Learning under a quality pastor and ministers will help strengthen your faith and expedite your understanding.

Follow along with the message each week, take notes and use this to grow your base of scripture and understanding.

There are even some Christian-based mentorship programs that you can follow along with in order to strengthen your faith. You can check out some more information about these sorts of programs here: https://amentoringway.org/

4. Develop Prayer And Bible Study Practices

The bible says it best — faith without works is dead. What this means is that to grow your faith, you have to use it and apply it.

Start by praying every single day and developing a relationship with God. Read the bible a little bit at a time each day as well so that you can begin to internalize it.

Brushing up on the Book of Psalms specifically can provide you with a lot of life jewels that can bring about change and understanding. Set a goal for reading the bible completely and small chunk it piece by piece.

5. Memorize Verses And Do Some Devotionals

As you study scripture, there will always be certain ones that jump out at you or are universally loved. Commit scriptures to memory so that you can retrieve and use them when you need to.

Devotionals are one of the best ways to grow your faith. These devotionals are centered around a theme and include a few scriptures for you to focus on and apply to your life.
