Why Should We Put Our Faith In Jesus? – Christianity Matters

Is our faith contingent on how we feel right now? What we are experiencing right now may shake our faith. We need to know, in our heart, that God is in a good mood and will see us through to the end. That is God’s promise to us.

If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith. ~Oswald Chambers

Where should I put my faith?

  • In God?
  • In Jesus?
  • In the Holy Spirit?
  • Yes! Yes! And Yes!

Jesus challenges us to believe in Him and have faith. This is foundational to my world as a disciple of Jesus.

Why should I believe Jesus? Jesus is the TRUTH. Jesus is the Way to God. Jesus came to pay the price I owe God for missing God’s goal for my life. Jesus is Life. Jesus is in charge of God’s country.

I can believe Jesus because I can trust Jesus. It is not that Jesus exists but that I can trust Him. He came to die for me out of love. I can rely on Jesus.
