I have no faith, can you help me? Part 2

I say then, by the grace that has been given to me, to everyone who is among you,
Not having the highest concept than it should have, but think of It wisely, according to the measure of faith that God distributed to each.
- Romans 12:3
God distributed to every believer far faith on the day he was born again.

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; And this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

The verse 9 in the Jerusalem Bible states: "For ye are saved by grace through faith; And this does not come from you, but it is a gift from God. "

God gave each believer far faith, when someone is born again at that moment faith comes to his heart.

Romans 10:8-17
8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we proclaim):
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and you believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him shall not be put to shame."
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For "whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved."
14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear apart from a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those preaching the gospel of good things!"
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

El día que nos predicaron el evangelio la fe vino a nosotros para poder recibir la vida eterna; en ese momento, cuando recibimos a Jesús vino la fe a nosotros. The day that someone preached us the gospel, faith came to us to receive eternal life; at that time, when we receive Jesus faith came to us.

2 Thessalonians 3:2
2 And that we may be delivered from evil and wicked men; for not all have faith.

Clearly, not everyone has faith but only those who have received Jesus.

El asunto es que si ya tenemos la fe como podemos hacer para aumentarla. The question is that if we have faith what we can do to increase it.

In our passage from Romans, we see that there are three elements to the faith:

1. El que da el mensaje He who gives the message

2. El mensaje The message

3. El oyente The listener
