LEVELS OF FAITH
By H.H Pope Shenouda III
There might be a person "who is weak in the faith" (Rom. 14:1) or, "of little faith." (Matt. 14: 31). Another person needs to "perfect what is lacking in his faith". A third is "slow of heart to believe," like the two disciples of Emmaus. (Luke 24:25)
On the contrary to this, there are levels of faith...A faithful person, Another, "not a novice, " (I Tim. 3:6). A third, "...his faith grows exceedingly, " (2 Thess, 1:3) or he "abounds in faith." (2 Cor. 8:7) A fourth, "continues in the faith, grounded and steadfast." (Col. 1:23)
A fifth, "steadfast in the faith." (1 Pet. 5:9) A sixth, "rich in faith." (James 2: 5).
Above all those, a seventh, "full of faith." (Acts 6:5)
The Lord said about some, "great is your faith." (Matt. 15:28) There is a strong faith in which "signs will follow those who believe" (Mark 16:17) and faith that, "could remove mountains" (1 Cor. 13:2), and a greater faith which makes everything possible, "all things are possible to him who believes."(Mark 9:23)
Before all this, what is your position in faith? Are you a true believer? Do you have that... "faith working through love"? (Gal. 5:6) Do you grow in faith? Or is your faith strong and great? Or do you need prayers so... "that your faith should not fail"? (Luke 22:32)
Brethren.. "examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Prove yourselves?" (2 Cor. 13:5). Undoubtedly, the word faith bears deep meanings...
