No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God.
And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”—Without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
He who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead.—Fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
“Is anything too hard for the Lord?”—“With God all things are possible.”—“Increase our faith!”Rom. 4:20; Mark 11:22-24; Heb. 11:6; Heb. 11:17-19; Rom. 4:21; Gen. 18:14; Matt. 19:26; Luke 17:5
