Romans 8: Marks of Salvation

Romans 9: Identifying Israel

We make trust a precious commodity We expect people to earn it We take it away when it is violated

Your government? Your neighbor? Your spouse? Your preacher? Your brethren?

Malachi 3:10-12 Matthew 18:1-4

“Trust Me” for your needs – Matthew 6:25-33 “Trust Me” in evangelism – Isaiah 55:10-11 “Trust Me” in the home – I Peter 3:1 “Trust Me” in your work – Colossians 3:23-24

Do we really trust Him? Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We can show a lack of trust by misplacing it…

Yourself 2 Corinthians 1:9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead When you say “I can’t” do what He has equipped you to do, you are trying to trust in yourself

Yourself Your wealth Mark 10:24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!” When you worry about money, you are putting your trust in it

Yourself Your wealth Your health James 4:14 You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. When you worry about age or beauty, you are trusting in your health instead of Him

Yourself Your wealth Your health Others Jeremiah 17:5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.” When you believe what others say instead of what God says, you are misplacing your trust

This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 2 Timothy 2:11-13
