The saving power of faith resides not in itself, but in the almighty savior on whom it rests. It is not faith that saves, but faith in Jesus Christ. It is not, strictly speaking, even faith in Christ that saves, but Christ that saves through faith. The saving power resides not in the act of faith, but in the object of faith.
