sometimes i doubt that i really have faith. sometimes i feel like i'm just acting out a role. the only thing clear to me is i want to believe...but i'm afraid my faith isn't strong enough, and that i won't be able to turn into a real believer...

Sister/Brother I just wanted to ask this question if you are born-again meaning have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart because the bible says in Romans 10:9-10 " If you confess the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation". Now if you have done that then you have faith because faith is an act not a feeling. The moment you accepted Jesus into your heart faith came to you so it not that you don't have faith. Now I would like for you to look at the references that I put into this message so you will see it for your self in the Word of God. Now the bible says in Romans 12:3 "God has dealt to every man the measure of faith". This means that anyone who was or has been born again has the same level of faith. So what you need now is to grow your faith so you are probably asking how do I get more faith lets see what the bible says about that. In the book of Romans 10:17 it says "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God". This means the more you spend time with your bible the more you listen to biblical teachings anytime you are exposed to the Word of God faith comes this is a Law instituted by God. So you see you are a real believer because you accepted the Lord Jesus and when you did that faith came with that package what is left for you to do is to grow it. And let me tell you something most people or Christians misunderstand, faith is an act of what you have believed in so you are not faking it God knows your heart He knows when you are doing it because of Him. Look like I said earlier faith is not a feeling because if it was it would not be faith. As Christians the bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:7 that "we walk by faith not by sight" this means we don't live and act according to our feelings but we live according to the Word of God. See Sister/brother we are different bread of people with a different kind of life and I understand what your going through but that is why God sent me to you to help you with the Gospel truth of His Word because He loves and He knows that you have faith. So you are the best believer you will ever be but you just need to grow in your faith. And one more thing about why you may feel this way is because you don't see yourself doing the right things all the time, but let me tell you keep practising the Word of God that is how you produce results because you did something wrong does not make you a sinner. You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus you are no longer a sinner but a righteous person just keep at it and you will grow so strong in your faith that you will suprise yourself and give glory to God for what He has done to your life. If have any questions just feel free to ask me I am willing to help you understand as much I can. God bless you

How wonderful to come to you for some simple explaination of what Faith really means. I ruly believe and have Faith that God will do what He has promised.

Why do I hear constantly in church that we are sinners.
If I have done something wrong I go to speak to my Lord and ask for forgiveness. I am sure that I am forgiven and it is up to me to work on my failings. Please help

Faith is not about feeling anything. Even though sometimes you felt you've none, you've lots of it. It is one of the three theological virtues. The other two is closely linked to it: hope and love.
