Untitled Sermon (7)

Trust Jesus, and you are saved.

Trust self, and you are lost.

Charles Spurgeon

It is not our trust that keeps us, but the God in whom we trust who keeps us.

Oswald Chambers

God constantly encourages us to trust Him in the dark.2

A. W. Tozer

Trust the past to God’s mercy,

the present to his love,

and the future to his providence.

Augustine of Hippo

Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.

John Stott

44  The reasonableness of trust depends on the trustworthiness of the person being trusted, and no more trustworthy person exists than the God who has revealed himself in Christ.

John Stott

Christian Basics (1991)

John Stott

Trust is not a belief that God can bless, that He will bless, but that He does bless, here and now. Trust always operates in the present tense. Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses. Trust receives what prayer acquires. So that what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.

Edward McKendree Bounds

Faith and obedience are bound up in the same bundle; he that obeys God trusts God; and he that trusts God obeys God. He that is without faith is without works, and he that is without works is without faith.

Charles Spurgeon
