Faith - A Strengthening Quality - "BUILD YOURSELVES UP ON YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH"

Once, a ma cried out to Jesus: "I have faith!  Help  me out where I need faith!"  Mark 9:24) He has a measure of faith, but this man modestly recognized that he needed more faith.  Like this man, all of us at some point will need more faith. And all of us can strengthen our faith now.  As we have seen, we strengthen our faith when we study God's Word and meditate on it, which will deepen our appreciation for Jehovah.  Our faith will also grow stronger when we - along with fellow believers -worship Jehovah, publicly declare our hope, and persevere in prayer.  Moreover, when we strengthen our faith, we receive the greatest reward of all.  God's Word urges us:  "Beloved ones, build yourselves up on your must holy faith . . . in order to keep yourselves in God's love." - JUDE 20,21.
