David, Surely Christ's faithfulness is not ALL we need to be saved, or else everyone would be saved; right? w/o His faithfulness none COULD be saved. But He said that "few" are saved. Izzy

Anybody brought up on the King James Bible knows that we are saved by the faith of Christ. I have believed this since I was a teenager and heard it taught this way from the pulpit often. Have you ever heard anybody on TruthTalk disagree with this concept? My concern with Wright is not this, but with his description of faith being a badge. Also, I do not see the faithfulness of Christ excluding us from putting our faith in Christ. Rather, his faithfulness enables us to put our faith in him. Peace be with you.
