Jesus' teachings on faith can be found throughout the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Some key verses and teachings on faith from Jesus include:
Matthew 17:20 - "He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Mark 11:22-24 - "“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."
Luke 8:50 - "But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be well.”
John 14:12 - "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father."
Matthew 21:21 - "Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen."
In these verses and others, Jesus emphasizes the importance of faith, and teaches that faith can move mountains, heal the sick and perform miracles. Jesus teaches that even a small amount of faith can accomplish great things and that through faith, we can receive the promise of God. Jesus also teaches that faith is not just a mental assent but it leads to action, not just believing but also doing the will of God.
