The Apostle Paul wrote these wonderful words in Ephesians 2:8-9 below. These words set our salvation apart from any obligatory requirement for "works" as was under "the Law."

I've often noted and tried to share the important matter of "the faith OF God... faith OF Jesus Christ," etc." to differentiate it from the phrase "faith in Jesus Christ" used in most modern Bible translations. Sensing that I've fallen short in communicating the meaning of "the faith of Christ," I'd like to make another effort to explain this with additional understanding I have gained from the writings of Cornelius Stam.
