quoted from 'Our Daily Bread Sept-Dec 2005'
If your faith is in anyone or anything other than Christ, it is inadequate. Here's how to have the right kind of faith
1. Admit your sinfulness and desire to turn from it. Jesus said, "Unless you repent you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3)
2. Believe that "Christ died for our sins ... and that He rose again the third day" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
3. Trust in Jesus Christ alone as your Saviour and Lord. "Of you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9)
My faith is not in my ability to control my own destiny
My faith is not in my good name and good living
My faith is not in my church or ceremonies
My faith is not in my ability to push all negative thoughts out of my life
My faith is not in my own sincerity
My faith is not in my power to tap some inner, godlike resources
My faith is in Jesus Christ

Exactly! Faith in Christ is the only genuine faith for Christians, not their or other's abilities to change themslves.
The level of your faith in Christ reflects the level of your relationsghip with Him.
