How do we know that Christ is the object of our faith?

We understand that Christ is the object of our faith through the testimony of Scripture and the working of grace in our hearts. John 12:25-26 teaches us that those who love their lives will lose them, but he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. This calls for a relinquishing of self and a heartfelt submission to Christ. The faith that we have is not merely intellectual assent but a deep-seated trust in who Christ is and what He has accomplished through His death and resurrection. As believers, we are invited to follow Him and participate in His life, which is the very essence of our faith.
