Please be precise with your questions. Do you speak of "faith" in general as the actual substance? Perhaps you should restructure your sentence with the appropriate wording, that I may properly answer you.

Is it your faith that makes Jesus Christ work at the cross effective in our lives for salvation or is it Jesus Christ giving himself on the cross which purchased us and gave us the gift of saving faith along with repentance? This is not a trick question but it is something that I have been thinking about lately.
You are a scholar and I thought your answer might be interesting. I don't have scripture I am just asking the question.
