English term or phrase: were strong for Christ as the only Saviour

A lesson from nineteenth-century German church history is relevant for us. Daniel Edward has written of how hope of a lasting evangelical revival in Prussia failed. ‘The ten or fifteen years before 1848 spread out in bright sunshine in the remembrance of all Christians.’ A galaxy of eminent teachers and preachers appeared to be turning the tide. ‘They saw’, Edward wrote,
the excellence of the gospel as the divine scheme of redemption; they ***were strong for Christ as the only Saviour***, but they rejected the law as the schoolmaster that leads to Christ. They set forth eloquently the privileges of the gospel to a people . . . who needed first of all to hear the voice, ‘Repent’. . . These good men failed for want of what our forefathers styled ‘law work’. They wanted a deeper knowledge of God’s holy law, and a deeper knowledge of sin as the transgression of it.

Spanish translation:proclamaban con firmeza a Cristo como único Salvador

Explanation:
Leo en el contexto el trabajo que este grupo de predicadores estaba haciendo, por lo tanto pienso que proclamar (es decir de forma pública) más que creer (de forma personal e individual) va más acorde con el significado general del texto. Espero que ayude.
