A Little Faith Is Faith

“It is the not quality of your faith, but the object of your faith, that saves” (my paraphrase). I heard this quote, or something very similar, for the first time from Tim Keller. It struck me. It blindsided me.

Friend, take heart. The days you struggle with your faith, the moments you agonize over your fickle heart, the weeks you continue to doubt—remember that it is not the quality of your faith that saves and keeps you, but the finished work of Jesus Christ. Must you have faith? Yes. You must place your trust in Him.
