Second Step: Trust in Jesus

Belief Faith God Jesus Salvation

After you choose God as your #1 priority, the second step to accepting all Jesus offers is:

2. Put your trust in Jesus.

Belief (or saving faith) involves both intellectual assent and trust. For example, before we will sit on a chair, we must believe the chair will “save” us from falling to the floor. We can say that the chair will support our weight (give intellectual assent). But saying it doesn’t mean much until we actually bend our knees and lean back.

It’s easy to trust in a chair because we sit in them every day. But when we are trusting something for the first time, there’s usually some uncertainty. In that case, we still act, even though our trust is weak.
