Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8)

The challenge of growing in faith

Many people believe in something or someone, but true faith goes beyond beliefs and creeds. Saving faith is based on the sacrifice of the cross and is a gift from God. Faith is necessary for salvation, to please God, and to understand His will. Faith grows through hearing and studying the Word of God and through sincere and constant prayer. Faith mobilizes God to bless those who trust in His love and mercy. We should examine ourselves to see if we are truly in the faith and strive to grow in faith in Christ. Read more...

Comments:

Jose: Review Psalm 20:7, which says, "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses." You have placed some of us who trust in chariots and horses, but we in the Lord. If I see it from this point of view, in the end, in whom do you trust? Quoted like this, it brings confusion to the reader.
Hello, José! Thank you for your comment. It's interesting how you analyze Psalm 20:7 and how you point out that the quote in the devotional can be confusing. That verse highlights the importance of trusting in the name of the Lord our God above relying on any earthly resources. It's essential to remember that our trust must be placed in God, who is our true strength. Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas also highlights the importance of faith in God in his devotional, mentioning that saving faith is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8). It is through that faith that we can experience God's transforming power in our lives. May God bless you!
Efigenia Vidal : Faustino de Jesús Zamora shares with us a broad topic encompassing the word "faith," two letters of great value. It is faith that is strengthened to the extent that we seek communication with the author and consumer of faith, so that when I need support in the face of adversity, I know I am not alone. The situation has already been presented before the throne of grace, and my faith in God will cause the power of God to flow forth. God is eternal; man is fleeting; in a moment, everything can change, either against him or in his favor, because everything is governed by the will and grace of God. And all things are possible to those who believe. God bless you.

Byron Chavarria Vargas : That phrase really caught my attention, let us examine ourselves to see if we are in faith, God gives us that opportunity to do a self-evaluation of faith to walk in his truth, I ask for your prayers to be able to recover that faith, since I have strayed from that powerful faith that guides our lives and those who walk under that faith of God that is powerful, do not ever stray, since I live it in my own flesh and it is as if a fundamental piece is missing for something to begin to work, blessings people of God thank you for those prayers I know that God is going to lead me back to that faith a big hug.
