Faith as the Measure

Commentators emphasize that Jesus's statement, 'According to your faith be it done unto you,' is a foundational 'rule of the kingdom.' Charles Spurgeon notes that our faith often measures the blessings we receive, stating, 'We have the measuring of our own mercies.' This principle suggests that while God's power is limitless, the extent to which we experience it is often connected to the capacity of our faith to receive it.
