FAITH, TRUST AND OBEY
GOD is good to mankind, he is kind; despite man’s kind sinful deeds he still remains good to them. No one is good save our GOD. No one is kind save our GOD. His goodness and kindness to us is immeasurable, unfathomable; he has just being so good to us. He is a faithful and true GOD; even while we break his promise for us. We are all liars but he is not a man that lies, neither the son of man that repented of what he has said, has he said it, will he not do, has he spoken, will he not make good. His words are always right and true.
Moreover, he sent his son JESUS to take away the punishment for our sins and unfaithfulness; his son obeyed his father and died, chastised, bruised just for GOD’s anger against us to be taken away. Shouldn’t we obey and trust such a fellow? “ Through his blood and our faith in him we are saved”. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not yet seen says the bible. GOD in his goodness and kindness has shown us a different way to be saved and reign in heaven with him; not by being good enough nor trying to keep his laws, these are essential too but by trusting in JESUS take our sins; and we shall be saved no matter what we might have done.
Also, all have sinned and falling short of his glory; GOD declares us not guilty of offending him, if we trust in JESUS; but we are guilty if we don’t trust him. If someone could go through all JESUS faced, then the fellow worth trusting. We are saved by our faith in him and not our good deeds; if you do good things and do not trust JESUS, you are not saved. When you trust JESUS then obedience comes in, you will surely obey him. A song said trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in JESUS, but to trust and obey.

Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love wi...
