Walking with Christ-Day 2

For day 2 I am reading about increasing my faith in my Savior.

Questions: How does having faith increase my power to accomplish the work of the Lord? How does submission to the will of God lead to greater faith? Why is it essential that I serve the Lord with no thought of reward?

Ponder on this: Do I have faith in the capacity and willingness of Jesus Christ to fulfill his promises? What can I do in my life to more fully submit to the will of God?

Parable of the Unprofitable Servant in Luke 17:5-10 answers the questions about faith. In the parable the master is Christ and we are the unprofitable servant.

We can increase our faith by:

Acting on our faith

Obeying Gods commandments without expecting anything in return

Being humble

Preparing ourselves to gain faith by living a good life

Offer ourselves completely to our Lord

Trusting him

Striving to act as Christ would act

Retain in the attitude that we are still in the Lords debt

Continue sacrificing

Serving without seeking reward but serving out of love and gratitude

Listening to the Holy Ghost's promptings and acting on them

Blessings we can receive from increasing our faith:

promised to prosper and bless us

strength of our belief and our power to act will increase

From the parable how else can we increase our faith?
