Helen now could you have faith the size of a mustard seed what you could do? You could cast a mountain into the sea. The mustard seed was never meant to gage our relationship with the Lord but to show us just how little faith God requires to recieve his righteousness.
What Is Faith.

It's a great book on faith.@Heart2Soul I have been loving 2 Corinthians lately....
@Heart2Soul What I love about 2 Corinthians is that while lots of things were wrong in Corinth in the First Epistle, yet there was evidently recovery; some of the truths brought in by Paul in the Second Epistle are truly sublime....
Yes! Good observation....I appreciate your input especially ones like this
@Heart2Soul He was a dear man, the Apostle Paul; he gradually taught more truth as those whom he addressed evidently became more ready to receive it.....Yes! Good observation....I appreciate your input especially ones like this
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
I think 'hope' in this context means more than we tend to think of it in our ordinary lives. Like 'I hope the sun shines tomorrow' or ' I hope we have steak for dinner'. This sort of hope in the scripture must be a godly sort of hope given by him so that our faith will grow.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. - Job 13:15.
I'm sure it may be different for us in some way. But when you go through the refiners fire, and you can't even quote scripture. And you have a hard time even mustering up faith in anything. We have him! You don't put scripture together for that, it just is.
Hellen I hope you stop by and say hi next time you're on
@soul man Such a searching verse there indeed; but this is the nature of true faith, right?
Faith is a supernatural virtue or help from God!
it is an intellectual assent to a truth revealed by Christ and proposed by His holy church for our belief!
My God I believe, hope, adore and love Thee, and ask pardon for those who do not!
“Faith is the virtue by which we firmly believe all the truths God has revealed, on the word of God revealing them, who can neither deceive nor be deceived (John 20:29)”
“Hope is the virtue by which we firmly trust that God, who is all-powerful and faithful to His promises, will in His mercy give us eternal happiness and the means to obtain it (Romans 8:24-25)”
“Charity is the virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God (1 Corinthians 13:1-2)”
Act of Faith
O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three Divine Persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that Thy Divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.
Act of Hope
O my God, relying on Thy almighty power and infinite mercy and promises, I hope to obtain pardon of my sins, the help of Thy grace, and life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
Act of Charity (Love)
O my God, I love Thee above all things, with my whole heart and soul, because Thou art all good and worthy of all my love. I love my neighbor as myself for the love of Thee. I forgive all who have injured me, and ask pardon of all whom I have injured. Amen.
