Why is the faith of Christians centered on Jesus important?

The sermon emphasizes that the central attribute of God-given faith is its singular object: Jesus Christ. Faith does not possess inherent power; instead, the power belongs to God alone. The example of Peter walking on water illustrates this truth. When Peter looked to Jesus, he was empowered, but as soon as he took his eyes off Christ, he began to sink. This teaches us that true faith relies solely on Jesus as the source of our strength and salvation, reminding us that our reliance must be on Him rather than on ourselves or external circumstances. As believers, we are called to fix our eyes on Christ continually.
