Not all faith saves. Some believe about Christ, but saving faith embraces Christ — both for His saving power and His satisfying presence.

It sees Jesus not only as useful for salvation, but as precious above all else.

That’s why we say:

“Saving faith embraces Christ both as useful for His saving gifts and as precious for His satisfying glory.”

Faith saves sinners and glorifies the Savior.

Christ is most magnified in our faith when our faith is most satisfied in Him.
