FOCUS OF FAITH
The focus of faith is on its object, not the faith itself. For example, if I believe that a certain chair will hold me when I sit on it, the primary issue is the construction and quality of the chair — the object of my faith, not the amount of faith I might have. Even if I believe very strongly that the chair will support me, if the chair is a rotten, broken-down piece of junk, then it will break if I try to sit on it. My faith will not make the chair good. But if the chair is of quality construction, it takes very little faith to sit comfortably in it. Again, it is the quality of the object, not the quantity of my faith, that is of primary importance.
