Yes, Christ and obedience saves you from sin.

Sin means disobeying the orders of God. If you love God, you obey His orders. Otherwise, what is the meaning of your love? Faith means accepting the authority of that which is not directly discernible. None of those things removes your ability to sin if you choose to do so. What do you mean by "save"? Are you asking if faith and love protects you from the consequences of sin? If so, then the answer is no.

God gave us the faith to believe, but no what saves us is God's Son that loved us so much that He died on the cross. He paid the price that we could never pay, so that we could have everlasting life with Him. It is not that we loved Him, but that He first loved us. Faith is what we have been given to believe, but only Christ can save.

Since I do not sin I do not need saving. So, God being all perfect creates in his science experiment an imperfect being (according to religious believers) and gives that imperfect being free-will and God expects that imperfect being to react perfectly. Now that God expects that if we do mess up we must kiss his butt and ask him for forgiveness. Is he a moron? What a stupid being he must be, if he existed. I realize that you are religious and can probably never follow logic, therefore what I am stating, but you would see the hypocrisy if you could.

Faith and Love should keep you from sin, not save you from it. We all have our free agency, but you should have faith that God's commandments have a reason behind them, nad faith that he will bless you for obeying them. Go and sin no more. (That's for me and everyone else)

No! "The blood of Jeswus Christ, God's Son cleanses us from all sin." 1 John 1:7

Which sin? You say that like there all the same. Like the world was black and white / good and bad. You say that as if life were simple. I know you really really want it to be and when people say it is, it's so tempting and satisfying, but it isn't so.

Sin is inevitable and its presence condemns you to die.
Faith and love in Jesus saves you from an eternal death and lead to a righteous heart. God looks at the heart which produces actions and grants you eternal life.

Faith and love in Jesus Christ, who took your sin, even as you were nailing him to a cross... even as you sinned against him, he still took it for you, he still loved you unconditionally, and hes still knocking on the door of your heart, waiting for you to open your eyes and see that.

no, faith and love do not save you from sin. confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God saves you from sin. there is no other saving grace!

No. The vicarious atonement of Christ on the Cross saves you from sin. Your Baptism washes away original sin (Baptismal regeneration) - and confession and absolution saves you from post-Baptismal sin. ("If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9)
