Matthew 21:20-22 ESV
When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
The Jews could not even touch the mountain of the Lord where the law was given.
Jesus speaks of faith which is the righteousness of God which does away with the mountain that separates us God. With faith we can touch and even climb on that mountain because it has become our home, for we are one with the Lord. Everyone has enough faith to turn to Jesus. He will do the rest and give you rest.
The mountain of the first covenant is discarded into the sea of striving men by a simple prayer and faith. The first covenant does not produce the fruit in keeping with the tree of life.
This is possible not by keeping rules, but by keeping the faith.
