Faith and Growth

Do you grow out of the faith you have or do you grow into your faith?

You grow from glory to glory...or is it mercy to mercy...or love to love...or grace to grace...yep...its faith to faith. :)

I'm a week behind. Is that okay? I love your questions - they always make me think. And I like Danna and Tammy's thoughts. Mine are similar.
I've always liked Philippians 3:15-16:"... All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained."

Sometimes the things I've tried 'to live up' to were born in faith... but God grew me right out of them into something different - equally by faith. Neither was invalid - But God is gracious to us in revealing that HE is always the standard of our faith - and if that's the case, we'll always be growing....:-)
