Faith 2

In the book True to the Faith it talks about faith on pages 54-55.

It says "Whenever you work toward a worthy goal, you exercise faith. You show hope for something you cannot yet see."

It continues "You exercise faith through the way you live. Your faith can lead you to do good works. Your faith can help you overcome temptation."

It concludes by explaining that "You must nurture your faith to keep it strong. If you exercise it, it will grow stronger. You can nurture your faith by praying to Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, keeping the commandments, studying the scriptures and the words of the latter-day prophets."

I think this is one of the best explanations of faith and how we gain more of it. If we stop using faith in our lives we will loose it.

Faith is like a muscle or even better a spiritual muscle, if it just sits there it can't grow or help us become better person. But, if we continue to use it and strengthen it, it will grow and we will be able to serve in a better way.

Faith is a principle of righteousness and the sooner we learn how to use it and strengthen it the sooner we can have a greater positive influence in this world.
