Four Pillars of Trust
Psalm 25:1-2
Pastor Jerry Koller
Psalm 25:1-2 ESV
The dictionary says trust includes reliance or dependence.
· It is a reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, character and faithfulness of someone or something—in this case in God.
Overview:
· Trust Has an Object
· Trust Incorporates Knowledge
· Trust Involves Heart
· our emotional life
· our volitional life
· our spiritual life
· Trust Includes Action
Pillar #1 - Trust Has an Object
· The object of trust is God: Father, Son, and Spirit.
Pillar #2 - Trust Incorporates Knowledge
In God’s Person: He is infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, holy, loving, gracious, merciful, faithful, good, merciful, compassionate, just, and so on.
· God’s person is reflected in His attributes.
In God’s Sovereignty:
· His position
· His power
· His providence
1 Chronicles 29:11 NIV
1 Chronicles 29:12 NIV
In God’s Plan:
Psalms 33:11 NIV
