Charles Spurgeon wrote, "My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!"
Faith is trusting in Christ alone and not in yourself. You know that you are a sinner and Christ died for your sins. You are not trusting in self-righteousness. Faith is in the righteousness of Christ alone. Believers are the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Spurgeon taught faith is "in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing." That's your faith in Christ alone. You are "looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrews 12:2).
Faith is confidence and assurance resting in Christ alone and not in yourself. It is knowing Christ as our Surety (Hebrews 7:22). Christ alone is your guarantee of eternal salvation.
You may testify with Spurgeon, "My faith rests not upon what I am or shall be or feel or know, but in what Christ is, in what He has done, and in what He is now doing for me. Hallelujah!"
When your faith is in Christ alone, you may testify, "I am a sinner for whom Christ died." You are focused upon Christ crucified for your sins. No self-righteousness do you claim. You know by faith, that Christ alone died for your sins. He alone is risen from the dead as your living Lord. Faith is trusting in Christ alone.
