    Scofield Reference Notes (1917 Edition)
    by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield (1843-1921)

    Have the faith of God; that is, the faith which God gives.

    Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible
    Adam Clarke, LL.D., F.S.A., (1715-1832)
    Published in 1810-1826; public domain.

    Have faith in God - ??ete p???? ?e?? is a mere Hebraism: have the faith of God, i.e. have strong faith, or the strongest faith, for thus the Hebrews expressed the superlative degree; so the mountains of God mean exceeding great mountains - the hail of God, exceeding great hail, etc.

    Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible
    Published in 1847-85; public domain.

    Have faith in God - Literally, “Have the faith of God.” This may mean, have strong faith, or have confidence in God; a strong belief that he is able to accomplish things that appear most difficult with infinite ease, as the fig-tree was made to wither away by a word.

    John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
    Dr. John Gill, D.D., (1697-1771)
    Published in 1746-1766, 1816; public domain.

    have faith in God; or "the faith of God", so the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; that is, exercise, and make use of that faith which has God for its author, which is the work of God, and of his operation, a free grace gift of his; and which has God for its object; and is supported by his power, and encouraged by his goodness, truth, and faithfulness: and so the Arabic version renders it, "believe in God"; not only that such things may be done, as the drying up a fig tree, but those that are much greater.



    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)
