Christ, not faith, saves us

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 exclusively, not in the act of faith or the attitude of faith or in the nature of faith, but in the object of faith.

— B. B. Warfield, quoted by Sinclair Ferguson in
In Christ Alone
