Faith is the foundation of our walk with God, and Scripture reminds us that faith is not just important, it pleases Him. In Hebrews 11:6 (NIV), we are told that without faith it is impossible to please God. Growing our faith is essential to a deeper relationship with Him.
One of the most powerful ways to strengthen your faith is by remembering what God has already done in your life. When you reflect on His past faithfulness, answered prayers, provision, protection, and peace, it builds confidence that He will continue to be faithful.
Here are 10 Bible verses from NIV to encourage and strengthen your faith:
1. Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
2. Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
3. Romans 10:17 (NIV)
“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.”
4. 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)
“For we live by faith, not by sight.”
5. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
“but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
6. James 1:3 (NIV)
“because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”
7. Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
8. Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
9. Mark 9:23 (NIV)
“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
10. Lamentations 3:22–23 (NIV)
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
