Trusting In Jesus

Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Our trust and hope lies in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Lord!!! Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:14-20: “And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God—for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. But that can’t be true if there is no resurrection of the dead. And if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world. But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.” ‭‭(NLT‬‬). Edward Mote, in the mid 1800's wrote this lyric in a hymn: "My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ,  the Solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand."
