What is "saving" faith?

Re: What is "saving" faith?
 

SAVING FAITH is another cliche that has lost its meaning with many believers. It was coined by people who had the right understanding, but such understanding sometimes gets lost in the transference of the cliche.

Faith that trusts that the work of the cross is the only work that can make anyone righteous before God. Many things we do please God, and we need to do them. But nothing we do can please Him to make us righteous, so He did that work, Himself, through the cross. What makes us righteous and what saves us from sin is the question posed when asking WHAT IS SAVING FAITH? It is the faith that there is absolutely no there other way to be freed from sin and made righteous other than through what the work of the cross accomplished.

We either accept it and obey the gospel, or reject it.

SAVING is a reference to being made righteous and freed from sin.

I believe it is that faith that embraces and trusts in what Jesus did on the cross for our justification. It is that trust which causes us, in light of the price paid on Calvary to surrender ourselves to Him "completely." :D
