Did Jesus say we are saved by faith?

Tho' Christ a thousand times at Bethlehem were born,

And not within thyself, thy soul would be forlorn.

The cross at Golgotha thou lookest to in vain,

Unless within thyself it be set up again.

—Johann Scheffler (Angelus Silesius)

The salvation, which Jesus taught comes from within, not from without. We can be at one with the Universal Spirit only through our own spiritual vitality. 

That alone is salvation. 

Through that alone we become our own saviour. We cannot reasonably hope for a delegated responsibility.
