The maturation of our faith also occurs when we read in scripture how members of the Hall of Faith described in Hebrews Chapter 11 went through their own crucible with their faith strengthened by God in the process. These heroes did not possess superhuman strengths that we do not have, they just looked to God to increase their faith to enable them to withstand the fiery trial they suffered through.
As Jesus said in John 15:5 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” But with Christ abiding in us we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength (Phil 4:13).
