Faith Is Trusting Jesus with Your Whole Heart
Faith Is Trusting Jesus with Your Whole Heart
The gift of salvation is not about religious background, good behavior, or self-improvement. God’s invitation is for “whoever believes.” That means anyone, no matter their past or present struggles. True faith is more than agreeing with facts about Jesus; it is a wholehearted trust, a willingness to rely on Him completely, like stepping into a wheelbarrow and letting Him carry you.
Each person must make their own decision to accept or reject this gift. No one else can do it for you. God’s offer is personal and requires a personal response. He invites you to trust Him with your life, your future, and your eternity, not because you have it all together, but because He is trustworthy.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV): “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.”
Reflection: Is there an area of your life where you are still relying on your own strength instead of trusting Jesus? What would it look like to “get in the wheelbarrow” and trust Him fully today?
