49 Bible Verses to Grow Your Faith in God

The Bible has much to say about faith. When we place our faith in God, we believe that God exists and is of noble character. We trust that God’s promises are true and believe that He will provide for those who seek Him. God’s greatest promise is that He will save His people from sin and death. If we put our faith in Jesus, we will be saved from the consequences of our sin. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8).

We grow in faith as we meditate on God’s word, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:7). By reading and listening to the following Bible verses about faith we can grow our faith in God.
