Description
Jesus is the author of faith. Therefore He is the generator and the originator and the creator of our faith in Him. The point being, that all glory goes to Him -- our salvation is not of ourselves. "Where then is boasting?", Paul says. "It is excluded", he answers. Romans 3. (Quotes from the NASB)
It is God who has wrapped us with the garments of salvation. Isaiah 61. We have not wrapped ourselves with those garments; it is God who has done so.
