Moves Mountains Orthodox America Faith that Moves Mountains by Fr. In these troubled times it is very difficult to find people with faith in Christ our God Looking at the Holy Scriptures, we can see that Christ had some difficulty in teaching His Apostles, simply because of their lack of faith, and they showed this to our Lord. For to Jesus faith is the assurance that everything is possible to God, the assurance that He gives.
Faith is a power which moves mountains.
Therefore, the Christian, or the believer in Christ, must have some knowledge of the truth, and once he has this knowledge it is possible to have faith stirred up in him. It can be said that love is grounded in true faith. It is because faith is the very foundation of love and the whole Christian way of life that Christ and His Apostles, as wdl as the Holy Fathers of the Church, speak much more often of faith than of love, although they emphatically assert that love is the highest virtue for the Christian believer. However, our faith must be a living faith, confirmed by the works of the new man, and not the good works of a fallen nature, which are repulsive to faith. Our religious outlook today can be described as being slack and complacent, with an expedient kind of faith.
