What is the object of saving faith?

Answered in 2 sources

The object of saving faith is the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom we place all our confidence for salvation (Hebrews 12:2).

Saving faith must have a proper object, and that object is the Lord Jesus Christ. Believers are called to place their trust and confidence in Him alone for salvation, as emphasized in Hebrews 12:2, which encourages fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. The faith that saves is not merely intellectual agreement; it is a deep relational trust in Christ’s person and work. True faith acknowledges His sovereignty and sufficiency for salvation, relying fully on what He has accomplished on our behalf through His death and resurrection.
