In the biblical definitions of “grace” and “faith”, if there is an “object” involved, that object is Christ, no other.

Please give a book, chapter, and verse with the definitions, or the book author, and quote of a later author with the definitions?

Cheers!

To me, Christ is no "object." He is Eternal Subject. To "objectivize" Him is to cut Him down to the size of what the human mind can grasp. THAT is not Jesus Christ.
