This is one way to tell that everyone has been given a Measure of faith. Some want to know God but fill the void with bad habits because they have not tasted what they thirst for. We want GOD so bad that we don’t even know! Literally.
You must be talking about conditional sanctification rather than positional sanctification because the bible says that we are GOD's workmanship created IN CHRIST unto good works that we should walk In them so then If we are given A measure of faith Instead of THE measure of faith then GOD would not be fair.

JESUS Is the vine and we are the branches receiving sustenance from the vine.

Or are you saying JESUS Is the vine and we are the branches RECEIVING A sustenance from the vine.

Romans 12:1-2
King James Version(KJV)


1.)I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2.) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The blessing in his Word, KJVPsalms1;1-3 1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth he doeth shall prosper.

The work of the Holy Spirit gives The Believer a better and closer relationship with Jesus. The work of the Holy Spirit gives the Believer a intense desire and a genuine hunger and thirst after Righteousness that we may be filled (Matthew 5:6; Luke 9:23). When Faith is placed and maintained exclusively in Jesus and the Cross of Calvary where the victory was won, much more is added (Matthew 6:33).
