Hebrews 5:9 (a) CHRIST designed, planned and executed salvation "by Himself." He presents this salvation as a gift to all who will receive Him. All other forms of "salvation" are an invention of some man or some woman, and only lead to the outer dark.
Hebrews 12:2 (a) CHRIST produces faith in the heart as we look upon Him, think about Him, read about Him, and talk with Him. His very person causes us to believe in Him fully, and to trust in Him implicitly.
