It’s important to understand that Romans 12:3 (and the rest of the book of Romans) wasn’t written to unbelievers. It was speaking to Christians, people who had accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Therefore, when it talks about “the measure of faith,” it’s not saying that faith is available to everyone in the world, but rather that it’s available to believers.

Second Thessalonians 3:2, KJV, supports this statement when it says, “And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.” The “unreasonable and wicked men” spoken about in this verse refers to unbelievers. They are the ones who don’t have faith. So, if you’re wondering why your unsaved grandmother, brother or neighbor can’t understand your spiritual walk or is unable to stand in faith with you for healing, deliverance, provision, restitution, etc., understand it’s because they haven’t yet received “the measure of faith.” Salvation is required for that measure to be present. You, on the other hand, have already received it because Jesus is your Lord and Savior. You are a new creation in Christ; therefore, you have faith (2 Corinthians 5:17).

There are not different kinds of faith depending on who you are or the role you play in the Body of Christ. You may look at someone who seems to have strong, world-changing faith and think, “Gee, I’ll never be like that person. That person is so confident and secure in his spiritual walk. That’s not me.”
