聖經經文

“Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20) “因為你們缺乏信心.我確實告訴你們,你們的信心若能像芥菜種子一般的長大起來,就算叫這座山從這邊移到那邊也可以,而且沒有什麽事是不可能的。” （馬太福音 17:20）

意思

那些有信念的人，必能達到目標。

來源及應用

在馬太福音里一個故事提及信徒們無法幫助一個男孩驅除邪靈。于是信徒就問耶穌為甚麼他們會失敗，耶穌說：“因為你們缺乏信心.我確實告訴你們,你們的信心若能像芥菜種子一般的長大起來,就算叫這座山從這邊移到那邊也可以,而且沒有什麼事是不可能的。” 要是你決心把這座山挪開，就是說你願意盡自己最大的力量去實現你的目標。當人們使用這個習語（Faith can move mountains）的時候，也就是說那些有信念的人，必能達到目標。
