 Saving faith is generally understood in terms of a belief of, trust in, and reliance on the person of Jesus and his work of atonement accomplished through his death on the cross.In a more everyday sense, faith is often discussed in terms of believing God's promises, trusting in his faithfulness, and relying on God's character and faithfulness to act.Yet, many Protestants stress that genuine faith is also "acted on", and thus it brings about different behaviour or action and does not consist merely of mental belief, trust or confidence or outright antinomianism.
