Trust Your Faith!

For Saturday, October 28, 2023:

1 Peter 1:8-9 NLT: “You love him (Jesus) even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.”

No one living today has seen Jesus. Yet we love him and trust him with our eternal souls. Salvation is the reward for our faith. Peter had seen Jesus both before and after the resurrection, but most people had not. We’re redeemed by grace, the gift from above, through our faith.

There is so much written about Jesus that his existence 2,000 years ago cannot be disputed. There are not only the sacred writings in our Bibles, but also secular writings detailing his life, his travels, his teachings and the many, many miracles, especially healings. Jesus is easy to love even if we have never seen him!

This scripture concludes, “The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls,” eternal life in God’s presence. I want “in” on that deal!
