Faith - an Eye, a Hand, a Mouth

From one of my favorite books:

“To say ‘justification by faith’ is merely another way of saying ‘justification by Christ’. Faith has absolutely no value in itself; its value lies solely in its object. Faith is the eye that looks to Christ, the hand that lays hold of him, the mouth that drinks the water of life.” - John Stott, The Cross of Christ

What encourages me most about this truth is that my salvation does not depend on the quality or strength of my faith. My faith does not feel very strong much of the time. It is comforting to know that my salvation depends solely on the one I have placed my feeble faith in. Weak faith is this strong Savior is enough to give us all the riches he offers.

Look to Christ! Lay hold on him! Drink this water of life! Come to him with your feeble faith, it can't hinder his saving power.
