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.

He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24: But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...
