Romans 10:9,10 "If you confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved..."
"Faith in Jesus Christ, is a saving Grace, whereby we rejoice and rest upon him alone for salvation, as he is offered unto us in the Gospel.
A weak trembling hand that brings food to the mouth feeds the body as much as a strong mighty hand doing the same. It is not the hand that feeds, it is the food. So it is with our faith. It is not the strength of our faith that saves. It is not the amount of faith that saves. It is the blood of Christ that saves. The least amount of faith, if it is placed in the blood of Christ, saves absolutely. The greatest amount of faith, if it is placed anywhere other than in the shed blood of Christ, saves none.
Everyone is born with faith. It would be impossible to live with out faith. When you turned on your computer you believed it was not about to crash with a virus and that is faith, or what we commonly call trust. When you sit in a chair, you believe, as you begin to descend into your chair, that it will hold you up. That is faith. It is impossible to live without faith.
Saving faith is a little different. Saving faith is that Spirit given understanding, that we are sinners in need of a saviour. There is no decree more certain than the one given in Scripture, "He who believes will be saved, and he who believes not will be damned." John 3:17,18. It is not the amount of faith we have, it is the object of our faith that matters.
