Exactly what does it mean to have faith as a mustard seed?
829008
Look at it from a different view, not from the SIZE of a mustard seed but from the faith the mustard seed has. In the passage Jesus tells us that the mustard seed is one of the tiniest seeds, yet it grows into one of the biggest bushes, so big that birds make nests in it. Imagine God says to this tiny seed "you'll grow into a HUGE bush, bigger than the other bushes in the garden" the seed might be like us and look at all the bigger seeds and big bushes and say "uhhhh yeah right" but it doesnt, it just believes what God says and just grows. That's how God wants us to be.\nGod tells us with that kind of faith we can move mountains.... do we ever just trust Him and do it? No... we all see how big it is and say "ummm you mean something else right?"

Spirituality transcends reasoning. Hence the term "leap of faith"? So don't bother with semantics. You should be flattered there are people praying for you here, jim. I know I would if I were in your shoes. lol.

Acting on faith strengthens it. Testing God might not be the same thing

The literal meaning is "from faith ,confidence"\nwhich we might translate as "out of faith comes confidence"\nor "out of faith comes trust".\n\nNot sure of the origins. The words could be used with religious sense but in other ways too.

Hi:\n\nLearn to step out by faith on what God has already given you and he will open up the way over time.  My experience over the past 50 some years is that he never gives the whole plan at once and he expects us to study his Word for answers and to rest upon him by faith for the rest.  \n\nGod will never lead us into something his Word prohibits, this is a good guide in our life.  \n\nWalking by faith is something like walking on a dark night carrying a flashlight...it is only as we step forward that the way is opened up to us by the light.  \n\nThe Psalmist could say "thy word is a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path" (Psalm 119:105)\n\nMay God bless you in your life>\n\nA fellow travellerbb

It means you have not chosen a specific religion, or follow a specific diety.\n\nA better interpretation would be, "without faith"

Having faith allows people to believe in something fantastic and beyond their reach. It gives them a feeling of power and belonging to something greater than themselves. Instead of wondering the what, when and how of our existence, faith gives people the opportunity to find the missing pieces of the puzzle. As for me I don't need to find out where I came from or where I'm going, whats important is the here and now.

To walk by faith means that you believe in things unseen.

You must not only believe, you must live out that belief; not because you have to, but because you want to. If your faith does not cause you to change your behavior to live as Christ wants you to, you don't have faith, but only an association of convenience.\n\nJustification is the process by which a sinner is made righteous, pure and holy before God. Justification comes by means of faith in Christ, and in a life of good works lived in response to God's invitation to believe.\n\nThe term "salvation" refers to the whole process from its beginning in faith, through the whole Christian life of the works of love on Earth, to its completion in Heaven.\n\n"See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by a different route? For just as a body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead." - James 2:24-26.

For me is my faith to Jesus and God, that they will be there beside me in every situation in my life, whether is good or bad.Pray and ask for the wisdom to overcome the situation.

Faith!  To have total faith that Gods will is what is right.  And, to accept his decisions...whatever they may be.  Knowing that He knows best.  \n\nLove!  Love others.  Love yourself.  Love God, above all.  And, no....I'm not a bible banger.  lol\n\nJust passing on what I have learned.  When I learned to accept the things in my life that happened....good or bad...and to realize that those things were His will....that they had a purpose in my life....I was much happier.\n\nFighting against what is meant to be, is so futile.  And, believe me....God is the one in control.  Yes, we can make some decisions...are are expected to use our brains and logic.  \n\nBut, when I lost my Dad to cancer....I learned who is really in control.  \n\nA lot of what makes us happy, is in how WE CHOOSE to look at a situation.

It means that we should have TOTAL faith in God that He will provide for all of our needs. Just as the animals that He has created do not worry about their needs and what will come tomorrow, neither should we. We should always trust in Him completely.\n\nAdditionally, this statement if meant for believers, so if they do not believe in God, then ferris bueller's comment about the starving children in Africa have no bearing on God's promise. You can't have faith in something that you do not believe in. \n\nAlso, for those who do believe, they still must have faith. Worry-warts sometimes cause more harm to themselves by trying to solve the problem quickly, as opposed to letting God solve it. Like, for instance, spending money on lottery tickets--trying to get rich quick--as opposed to spending the money on a bag of rice and some bread or flour (just an example).

- Happy is he who has not seen, and yet believes.\n\n- Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen\n\nI agree that the idea of simply believing in things because you wish them to be true is absurd, but it is Biblical.  All the more reason to ignore what the Bible has to say.

Basically having faith. You can't see it...but you believe in it....just like knowing God is there for us.............you just have to believe.

To test your faith. If something bad happens to you and you still worship and praise God, then you have good faith. If something bad happens to you and you question God, then your faith isn't as strong as it needs to be. There is a reason for everything good and bad that happens, whether we know why it happens or not.
