Too many people worry that their faith is not strong enough to save them. But that's the wrong place to start. If you begin by looking at yourself, you will end up in doubt and despair. My faith isn't good enough or strong enough, and neither is yours. We aren't saved by trying hard to believe in Jesus.It is Christ who saves us by faith.Do you see the difference? When we come to Jesus, we have nothing to bring, nothing to offer, nothing to give him. Even our faith feels too small. But Christ saves us because we have come to him with our faltering faith, filled as it is with imperfection and shot through with doubt.Do not look to your faith to save you. Look to Christ! When you do that, he will save you, and you will realize that all you did was reach out like a drowning man reaches for a life ring. That wasn't much, but it was enough because it is Christ who saves us by faith.
