saving faith

“If a man turns from sin without turning to God,
he will find his sin has only changed its name
and is hidden behind his pride.”
- Jim Elliff

“Faith is the flip side of repentance.
While repentance speaks of turning from sin,
faith is turning to the Savior.
The object of saving faith is not a creed,
not a church, not a pastor,
not a set of rituals or ceremonies.
Jesus is the object of saving faith.”
- John MacArthur
