The Faith of a Mustard Seed芥菜种子的信心
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
希伯来书 11:6 人非有信，就不能得　神的喜悦；因为到神面前来的人必须信他是，且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。
The phrase "impossible to please Him" in its original Greek context conveys the absolute necessity of faith to gain God's approval. There is no other way to please God except through faith.
希臘原文中的 "不能得神的喜悅" 強調了信心對獲得神悅納的絕對必要性。除了信心之外，沒有其他方法可以討神喜悅。
Without faith here means without faith in action.
这里的“没有信心”是指没有行动的信心。
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
罗马书 12:3 我凭着所赐我的恩对你们各人说：不要看自己过于所当看的；要照着　神所分给各人信心的大小，看得合乎中道。
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Ephesians 2:9not of works, lest anyone should boast.
以弗所书 2:8-9 你们得救是本乎恩，也因着信；这并不是出于自己，乃是　神所赐的；
以弗所书 2:8-9也不是出于行为，免得有人自夸。
Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.
因为人多，不得近前，就把耶稣所在的房子，拆了房顶，既拆通了，就把瘫子连所躺卧的褥子都缒下来。 (Mark 2:4)
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
耶稣见他们的信心，就对瘫子说，小子，你的罪赦了。 (Mark 2:5)
He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored.
耶稣怒目周围看他们，忧愁他们的心刚硬，就对那人说，伸出手来。他把手一伸，手就复了原。 (Mark 3:5)
Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
Matthew 14:29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
马太福音 14:28 彼得说：「主，如果是你，请叫我从水面上走到你那里去。」 14:29 耶稣说：「你来吧。」彼得就从船上下去，在水面上走，要到耶稣那里去；
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
雅各书 2:26 身体没有灵魂是死的，信心没有行为也是死的。
God expects us to approach even simple, basic, and daily routines such as eating with faith, as stated in Romans 14:23:
Therefore, if God requires faith in something as fundamental as eating, surely He expects us to exercise faith in praying, worshiping, praising, preaching, and every other good thing we do for Him.
神期望我们在做简单、基本和日常的事情时都能带着信心去做，比如吃饭，正如罗马书14:23所说：
因此，如果神要求我们在像吃饭这样基本的事情上也带着信心，那么他肯定会期望我们在祷告、敬拜、赞美、传道以及所有为他做的好事上也要带着信心。
The touch of faith that caught Jesus’ attention.
引起了耶稣的注意的信心之摸。
Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
马可福音 5:30 耶稣顿时心里觉得有能力从自己身上出去，就在众人中间转过来，说：「谁摸我的衣裳？」
Someone once asked the Apostle of Faith, Smith Wigglesworth, how to develop great faith. He responded with a biblical analogy from Mark 4:28: "First the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head."
This analogy teaches that faith, like a growing crop, develops gradually. We should exercise our faith at every stage of growth, regardless of where we begin.
有一次，有人问信心的使徒史密斯·威格斯沃斯如何培养伟大的信心。他用《马可福音》4:28中的一个比喻回答说：“先是苗，后是穗，再后是饱满的子粒。”
这个比喻告诉我们，信心就像成长的庄稼，是逐渐发展的。我们应该在信心成长的每个阶段都运用它，无论我们从哪个阶段开始。
Luke 17:5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
Luke 17:6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
路加福音 17:5 使徒对主说：「求主加增我们的信心。」
路加福音 17:6 主说：「你们若有信心像一粒芥菜种，就是对这棵桑树说：『你要拔起根来，栽在海里』，它也必听从你们。
You don't need mountain-sized faith to move a mountain, just faith the size of a mustard seed. (Matthew 17:20)
你不需要山一般大小的信心来移动一座山，只需要一颗芥子般大小的信心。 (马太福音17:20)
Matthew 17:20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
马太福音 17:20 耶稣说：「是因你们的信心小。我实在告诉你们，你们若有信心，像一粒芥菜种，就是对这座山说：『你从这边挪到那边』，它也必挪去；并且你们没有一件不能做的事了。
Matthew 14:30: But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
Matthew 14:31: And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
马太福音 14:30: 只因见风甚大，就害怕，将要沉下去，便喊着说：「主啊，救我！」
马太福音 14:31: 耶稣赶紧伸手拉住他，说：「你这小信的人哪，为什么疑惑呢？」
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, for He is the author and finisher of your faith.
将你的目光固定在耶稣身上，因为他是你信心的创始者和完成者。
