“lack of assurance “ that our life will be fufilling for we will not have the assurance that is in an active faith relationship with the Lord God
At this point in our lives we need to take hold, believe into
the words of
:
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust and will not be afraid; for
the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He has become
strength and my song, and He has become my salvation.
my salvation.
C. Trust
1. why is it so hard for those of us who call
Christ our Lord to Trust what He has to say?
2. I contend it is because of what the early
disciples lacked: a vibrant and active faith.
3. It’s understandable that the non-believer has
not this faith—but can we say it is excusable
for a believer?
*Of course not*
D. Is There A Difference Between Trust & Faith?
1. maybe in our world today—trust considered an alligence or
belief in a being.
a. trust places confidence or reliance in another
person or thing
-however faith is relegated to “religious” lingo, which
has not much to do with the world.

2. but in Biblical times the Grk.
for faith (pistis, pistos pisteuo)
a. means trust as used in the various forms of pistis:
“firm persuassion”
-a conviction or firm persuassion based upon hearing;
always used in NT of “faith in God or Christ”
in NT of “faith in God or Christ” The object of a Christian’s faith
“faith in God or Christ”
The object of a Christian’s faith
b. faith allows us to have personal surrender and become
children of God-Jn.
1:12
of God-Jn.
1:12
-this is the difference of faith/trust in God vs a trust in man
3. so a person of the world can have an earthy trust of others,
but often it is shattered for it is in a man who is so untrustworthy
shattered for it is in a man who is so untrustworthy
4. but a person of God in & thru Christ has a trust-faith in the
Creator-Redeemer God.
The most trustworthy!
a. whose faith is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ’s
righteousness: the foundation laid for us where Jesus
foundation laid for us where Jesus is the cornerstone
is the cornerstone
-it will not shatter
Observ.
Getting back to a Christian who believes in God, goes to
church from time to time, but seems to be anxious and concerned
time to time,
