What is meant by “saving faith”?

It is the faith that comes from God to bring our dead bodies alive.

It is personal trust in God – trusting and believing that He is our Creator and the only true God. It is genuine faith that leads us to repentance and believing in Jesus as our Savior, sent by God the Father to save the world from sin and death. It is confessing with out mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in hearts that He is our Redeemer and that through His work on the cross we are made righteous with God the Father. Saving faith is faith that produces the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

For me, saving faith is believing that God is who he says he is, that we are saved by grace through faith in and by the substitutionary act where Jesus allowed humanity to place him upon a cross to die a humiliating and agonizing death. He who knew no sin, because one single sin would have disqualified him, became sin so that our sin could be redeemed and thereby forgiven of our sin by a holy and just God.

Saving faith is a personal acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior. It is a belief that Christ suffered a substitutionary death to pay the penance for my sins and is my only means of salvation. It is my beliefs not my works that really count. Good deeds are the results of salvation and not a means to achieve it.

Saving faith means Jesus is the savior of the world. He is the son of God.we are saved through faith in Him.
