Are your simple actions backed by enormous faith?

Mark 5:28  "Because she thought, 'If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.'"

The woman in the crowd made her way to Jesus, believing that by simply touching His clothes she would be healed.  She touched His clothes, and she was healed.

Obviously, the act of touching someone's clothes does not bring about healing.  Therefore, her faith did not rest in the result of taking that particular physical action.  Her healing did, however, require action on her part.  She couldn't just sit back, hear stories about how Jesus was healing others, and wish it would happen for her.  She had to take action, but the action in and of itself was not what she placed her faith in.

Her faith was in the healing power of Jesus.  She believed He had more than enough power to heal her.  She didn't require His personal attention or some elaborate healing ceremony.  A simple touch of His clothes would transfer enough of His healing power to her to do the job.  Because her action was backed by enormous faith, it was completely sufficient.

Nothing about saying a phrase as simple as, "Jesus, I ask you to come into my heart and to be Lord of my life" should save us from our sin nature and separation from God.  But if the action (saying those words or something very similar to it) is backed by enormous faith in Jesus' more-than-adequate power to heal us and save us, the action is more than sufficient to do the job. 

It is the level of our faith, not the magnitude of our action, that saves us.
