How does the mustard seed illustrate true faith?

Answered in 1 source

The mustard seed illustrates that true faith often starts small but can achieve great things through God.

In the context of faith, the mustard seed symbolizes that authentic faith often begins in a small, seemingly insignificant way. True believers acknowledge that even their faith is a small thing, and that it is not the measure of faith but the greatness of God, the object of that faith, that brings about salvation and strength. The parable encourages believers to understand that faith, no matter how small, possesses immense power when placed in the Almighty God. As evidenced in the biblical accounts of heroes of faith like Moses and David, great things are accomplished not by the size of one's faith but by the might of the Savior in whom that faith rests.
