The Measure of Faith
Romans 12:3
For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think…


The water we draw from a well depends upon the size of the bucket; God provides us with the bucket as well as the water in the well of salvation. Or, again, gifts may be compared to the air we breathe, and faith to the lungs, by which we inhale and exhale; then the strength of the lungs would be represented by the measure of faith.

(C. Neil, M.A.)
