Trust Jesus

A sign on a building read, “Trust Jesus.” The question is, “How does one ‘trust Jesus’?” This is not a trick question. If I trust my doctor, I will follow his directions to the letter. Yet, how do I trust Jesus? Now, I know how I express my love for Him. He said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

I hear some say that one trusts Jesus by saying the so-called “Sinner’s Prayer.” However, where is the Scripture for this? Others say that trusting Him involves the signing of a decision card. Again, Scripture, please!

Is it wise to trust Jesus? Surely, all will agree that it is. If so, then, Jesus has told us how we express our trust in Him. He said, “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). We sing, “Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word…” Do you trust Jesus? Are you taking Him at His word?
