Who Do You Trust?

Do You Believe? - Message 2 - Who Do You Trust? The point was made, very briefly at the end of the first message last week where we learned this definition of faith that faith must have an object. Faith is not just a mental assent to a set of facts. In the case of saving faith this is certainly true – saving faith must have an object. We all believe in something, and as demonstrated, what we believe works its way out in how we behave. When we are talking specifically about saving faith, what is the object of that faith? The only right and proper object of our faith is the Person of Jesus Christ (Galatians 2:16; Philippians 3:9). He is what we believe. He is Who we trust. He is Who we listen to and obey. He is Who we are commanded to preach. Let's examine this claim that Jesus should be the Object of our faith. This is an easy enough proposition to prove from Scripture. In fact, there is more material supporting this claim than we can possible study in one sermon, but we will cover a few verses that make the point that we are to place our faith in Jesus Christ if we are to be saved.
