Faith: An Absorbing Preoccupation With Christ!

John Murray wrote:

"As one has aptly and truly stated the case, it is not faith that saves but faith in Jesus Christ; strictly speaking, it is not even faith in Christ that saves but Christ that saves through faith . . . The specific character of faith is that it looks away from itself and finds its whole interest and object in Christ. He is the absorbing preoccupation of faith."

From: John Murray, Redemption Accomplished and Applied (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1955), 139.
