What does the phrase 'little faith' mean in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

'Little faith' refers to a faith that is genuine but often struggles with doubt and fear.

The term 'little faith' appears multiple times in the Gospels, particularly in Matthew, where Jesus gently rebukes His disciples for their lack of trust during challenging circumstances. While they possessed faith, it was often overshadowed by fear, showing us that even small amounts of faith can connect us to God's grace. Romans 10:17 explains that faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ, suggesting that our faith can grow as we immerse ourselves in His teachings.
