Let me refer you to this passage in the Gospels: “If ye have faith and doubt not ... but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.” (Matt. XXI, 21) How great is the contrast between this conception of faith, paradoxically yet radically expressed in the words of Christ, and the present-day conception which in reality sees in faith simply a substitute for knowledge. A little reflection will show what is the essence of Christ's conception of faith. Faith must be an active force, a force that accomplishes something. Its purpose is not simply to evoke an idea or to awaken knowledge. He who possesses faith shall be able to move mountains. If you refer to the Gospels you will find that wherever the words “faith” or “trust” appear, they are associated with the idea of action, that one is to be granted a power through which something can be effected or accomplished, something that is productive of positive results. And this is extremely important.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Christ's Cosmic Mission and the Transformation of Faith","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Aber man kann gleich herausfinden, wenn man nur ein wenig aufmerksam ist, worin das Wesentliche der Glaubensvorstellung, die der Christus gibt, eigentlich liegt. Was soll der Glaube? Er soll etwas bewirken, etwas hervorbringen. Er soll nicht bloß eine Vorstellung, ein Wissen erwekken; wenn man ihn hat, den Glauben, soll etwas geschehen können durch den Glauben. Sehen Sie sich daraufhin das Evangelium an. Überall, wo Sie es aufschlagen können, und wo Sie die Ausdrücke «Vertrauen» und «Glauben» finden, werden Sie überall finden, daß es sich um diese tätige Vorstellung handelt, daß man etwas haben soll, wodurch etwas verrichtet, etwas getan wird, wodurch etwas geschieht.
