"Though Jesus denied that size of faith does not matter, he emphasised that the quality of faith does count. This is what we hear from Jesus' own mouth in Matt. 21:21 where he again speaks of faith moving mountains.
Jesus answered them, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.
In this passage Jesus expands the earlier statement to clarify that what is needed faith of a particular quality. That quality is faith without doubt. What Jesus says here is that what does miracles is not a truck load of faith, but just faith the size of mustard seed which is pure. What all of us then need is faith without the bubbles of doubt.
Faith is to believe in divine possibilities. That is to say faith is allowing the possibility that God could intervene in our situation. Doubt is denying this possibility. Faith adulterated with doubt is full but impotent because it always has other alternatives than God."
