Presentation transcript:

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1). “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. You were running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?” (Galatians 5:6-7)

Entrust: in doing what is right “Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.” (Psalm 62:8)

Deposit your soul to the faithful one’s protective care. “Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator…” (1 Peter 4:19) paratithemi – to place along side; to deposit for protection Examples: 1 Timothy 1:18; 2 Timothy 2:2

Deposit your soul to the faithful one’s protective care. God is the ultimate “safety deposit box.” Paul is an example of a sinner entrusting his soul to God (2 Timothy 2:11; 1 Timothy 1:15; Acts 22:16)

The entrusting of our souls is not a one time only action but continuous. “Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.” (1 Peter 4:19) “Trust in the LORD and do good;… Wait for the LORD and keep His way. . . .” (Psalm 37:3, 34) Ongoing suffering uniquely has a way of discouraging Christians.

The entrusting of our souls is not a one time only action but continuous. Jesus is our Motivation to give ourselves over to the will of the Father (1 Peter 2:21-25). He did not veer from His mission (ex: Matthew 16:23; 26:39) Shepherd and Guardian of your souls Psalm 23 – Daily entrust yourself to your Shepherd

Secure your trust by doing what is right. The certainty of the deposit of our souls is assured through diligent practice of what is right (2 Peter 1:10-11). What right things call for a constant entrusting to God?

Secure your trust by doing what is right. Expose unfruitful deeds of darkness (Ephesians 5:11). Don’t run with the world’s excesses (1 Peter 4:3-4). Fight to stay married (1 Corinthians 7:10). Discipline a brother who is sinning (1 Corinthians 5:11).

Secure your trust by doing what is right. “Bless those who persecute you,… overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:14, 21). Do not participate with false teaching (2 John 10-11). Flee idolatry (1 Corinthians 10:14).
