Faith in Action

In saying, “Have God’s Faith”, Jesus challenged His disciples to receive and exercise this kind of Faith, just as He has done. He went on to tell them that with Faith of this kind, they would not only be able to do what they had seen him do to the fig tree, but they would also be able to move a mountain by simply speaking. “Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.” Matthew 21:21.

Jesus was not merely speaking to his disciples only, He used the Word, ‘whoever’, extending His promise to all believers. Jesus set no limit to the scope of this kind of Faith. There is no restriction concerning the person who speaks or the words that are spoken. All that matters is the Nature of Faith, It must be God’s own Faith.

Let us now look at Mark 11:23, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Therefore, you can clearly see that Faith has its origin in God and not man.
