Faith That Looks Outside Itself

 

Faith That Looks Outside Itself

Scripture

“For by grace you have been saved through faith… not a result of works.” — Ephesians 2:8–9

Personal Reflection

True faith looks away from self and clings wholly to Christ. In storms, self-trust collapses—but faith finds strength in Another.

Contemplation

Is my faith resting in Christ—or in my experience of faith?

Puritan Quote

John Owen wrote, “Faith empties the soul of self and fills it with Christ.”

Prayer

Lord, keep my faith fixed on You alone, not on my feelings or performance.

Application

When uncertainty rises, deliberately shift your focus from self to Christ.
