What does the Bible say about faith and its power?

Answered in 1 source

Faith, even as small as a mustard seed, has the power to connect us with God and accomplish the impossible.

The Bible teaches that faith, even in the smallest measure, is capable of remarkable things, as illustrated in Luke 17:6 where Jesus says, 'If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.' This indicates that faith is not about the quantity we possess, but rather the object of our faith which is God Himself. When we exercise faith, we are linked with God's omnipotent power, enabling remarkable works according to His will. Joshua experienced this when, through faith, he commanded the sun and moon to stand still, and they obeyed him (Joshua 10:12-13). Thus, faith connects us to the divine and accomplishes what we see as impossible.
