Have faith
The phrase "Have faith" is translated from the Greek word "ἔχετε πίστιν" (echete pistin). The word "πίστιν" (pistin) is derived from "πίστις" (pistis), which means faith, belief, trust, or confidence. In the context of the New Testament, faith is not merely intellectual assent but involves a deep trust and reliance on God. This faith is active and dynamic, calling believers to trust in God's promises and His character. Historically, faith has been the cornerstone of the Christian life, as seen in the lives of the patriarchs and prophets who trusted God despite their circumstances. This call to "have faith" is a reminder of the necessity of a personal and living trust in God, which is foundational to the Christian walk.

in God
The phrase "in God" is crucial as it directs the object of faith. The Greek preposition "ἐν" (en) indicates a position or relationship, emphasizing that faith is not in oneself, circumstances, or other entities, but solely in God. The term "Θεός" (Theos) refers to the one true God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. In the historical and scriptural context, this is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who revealed Himself through the Scriptures and ultimately through Jesus Christ. The call to have faith "in God" is a call to trust in His sovereignty, His goodness, and His faithfulness. It is a call to recognize that God is the ultimate source of strength and hope, and that He is worthy of our complete trust and reliance.

Jesus said to them
This phrase highlights the authority and the personal nature of the instruction. "Jesus" is the Greek form of the Hebrew name "Yeshua," meaning "The Lord saves." As the Son of God, Jesus speaks with divine authority. The phrase "said to them" indicates that this was a direct communication to His disciples, who were His closest followers. In the broader scriptural context, Jesus often used such moments to teach profound spiritual truths. His words are not just for the disciples of that time but are preserved for all believers throughout history. The authority of Jesus' words is underscored by His identity as the Messiah, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, and the one who reveals the Father to us. His instruction to have faith in God is both a command and an invitation to enter into a deeper relationship with God through trust and obedience.

Verses 22, 23. - Have faith in God; literally, have the faith of God - full, perfect, effectual faith in him; faith like a grain of mustard seed. You may be staggered and perplexed at what you will see shortly; but "have faith in God." The Jews may seem for a time to flourish like that green fig tree; but they will "soon be cut down as the grass, and be withered as the green herb." What seems difficult to you is easy with God. Trust in the Divine omnipotence. The things which are impossible with men are possible with him. Our Lord then uses a metaphor frequently employed to indicate the accomplishment of things so difficult as to be apparently impossible. He employs a bold and vivid hyperbole; and, pointing probably to the Mount of Olives overhanging them, and on the shoulders of which they were then standing, he says, "With this faith you might say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, and it shall come to pass."
