Trust & Obey

 

What Does the Bible Say about Trust? 
As Christians, we are taught to trust in God. Proverbs 3:5-6 says “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” As our relationship with God grows, we should learn how to trust Him more.


Psalm 9:10
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, 
have never forsaken those who seek you.


What does the Bible say about obey?
The Bible has much to say about obedience. In fact, obedience is an essential part of the Christian faith. Jesus Himself was “obedient unto death, even death on a cross” ( Philippians 2:8 ). For Christians, the act of taking up our cross and following Christ ( Matthew 16:24) means obedience. The Bible says that we show our love for Jesus by obeying Him in all things: “If you love Me, keep My commandments” ( John 14:15 ).


2 John 1:6
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.



Until Next Time
