Faith ... making things possible since 4000BC

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel. We first need faith in order to follow the other principles. Throughout the scriptures we learn that real faith in Christ can help us overcome obsticles and challenges that to some would seem impossible. Nephi built a boat, (1nephi:17:51) Moses parted the red sea (Moses 1:21) and Peter walked on water (Matthew 14:29).
Recently I have been asking myself how strong is my faith? Would I have enough Faith to walk on water, or to part a sea? Truthfully I don't know. I would love to think that if those times and trials ever came upon me that I would have the kind of faith needed to perform such miracles, however I am also sure that the people in the scriptures are prophets and apostles for a reason!!!!!! One thing I do know is that everyone's faith needs strengthening, including mine! There is always room for improvement!!!!! The scriptures, as always, are a great place to start if you are looking to strenghten your faith however, simply reading the pages may not be enough. You have to be faithful to what they teach. When we are faithful we are rewarded with greater faith. Through faithfulness our faith is strengthened and it grows!!!
I found a wonderful scripture recently that I think sums all this up perfectly. Enos 1:7-8 "How is it done? .... Because of thy faith in Christ"
Through real faith in the Lord Jesus Christ our faith will be strenghtened and we will be able to accomplish whatever difficult challenges we face! If we have enough faith we will be able to move mountains (Ether 12:30) resist temptation (Alma 37:33) and heal relationships (Alma 15:5-11) When we exercise true faith in the Lord we will be blessed with all the faith that we need to overcome challenges and trials. Whatever the question it seems faith is always the answer!!!!!!!!
