Great point. They are mirrors of our depravity. As we age we become more sophisticated in hiding our greed and self-centered thinking and living.
In regards to adding to faith,... we always are to grow in faith, by remaining in fellowship, studying His Word and allowing God the Holy Spirit to grow that faith in us,...
Amen, but I think this is more sanctification. We are maturing and being led by the Holy Spirit. Our desires are changing. The things we find joy in are changing. However, these are all beautiful affects of something that came before. The trigger being the unconditional faith in Jesus Christ.
It’s like saying God’s Plan isn’t adequate,...we need to help him out so it will work. That simply leads the believer out of fellowship.
Where we may, or may not, differ is I think the person caught in this thinking is not yet saved.
IMHO, the vast majority of believers never advance beyond being babes in Christ, preoccupied by worldly things, and sliding into one counterfeit substitute for the Christian walk or another. We frequently confuse ‘good’ with the Christian walk, instead of placing faith in Christ in all things, never ceasing in prayer. I know I’m guilty of that frequently.
