Faith is necessary in the salvation of a sinner, but not for the same reason.
The faith OF Christ is the ground of our salvation.
The faith of the Gospel is revelation of salvation.
Faith IN Christ is the fruit of salvation and the means by which we lay hold of Christ.
All these meanings of faith were described by our Lord.
He said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
He also said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME.”(John 14:6)
It is written in Romans 6:17-18, “…but ye have obey from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.”
