Know and Trust

Amazing isn't it that our hearts don't have to be troubled!

John 14:1
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

We can better trust someone we know. We can get to know Jesus through the Word because he is the word and the truth.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
John 17:17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

My point is that as you read the Bible you come to know who Jesus is. If you take it one step further and highlight or make note of the things that stand out to you for a time then go back and look it over, you can be assured that what you are reading is what God is speaking to you. If we act on it and obey the truths He reveals to us, we come to know him and experience him in our lives; that is when we can better trust him.


1 John 2:3 3We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.
