How do we know that faith is not what saves us?

Answered in 1 source

Faith does not save; it is Christ's work on the cross that secures salvation.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that while scripture affirms 'whosoever believeth shall be saved', the act of believing itself does not save. Rather, it is Christ who accomplishes the work of redemption through His death on the cross. Faith is a response to the gospel and a gift from God, indicating that salvation originates from Christ's merit, not human action or decision. This underscores the core tenet of sovereign grace that our salvation hinges entirely on Christ's atoning work.
