TRUST CHRIST FOR SALVATION—HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
Trust is hard when you have been disappointed before. Many have trusted promises that collapsed, leaders who failed, systems that shifted, and even their own resolve—only to find themselves empty-handed. But Christ is not like that. He does not overpromise and underdeliver. He does not invite you to rest your soul on Him only to step away when the weight becomes real. Jesus saves completely, keeps faithfully, and finishes what He begins (John 6:37-40).
Salvation is not a gamble placed on human strength; it is a surrender to divine faithfulness. The New Testament tells us that those who come to Christ are received, not tested first, not cleaned up beforehand, not sent away to prove sincerity. He gives eternal life, and He guards those who love Him so that none are lost along the way (John 10:27-29). Our grip on Him may tremble, but His grip on us does not.
Many hesitate because they fear failing after they believe. But the Gospel does not ground assurance in our consistency; it anchors it in Christ’s obedience. We are justified by faith, not by works performed afterward to maintain standing (Romans 5:1). The same grace that forgives also sustains. When we stumble, we are not discarded; we are corrected, restored, and carried forward by mercy that does not run out (1 John 1:7-9).
Trusting Christ does not mean life becomes easy; it means life becomes secure. Storms still come, but the foundation holds. Accusations may rise, but there is no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). Death itself loses its claim, because the Savior who died now lives, and those united to Him share in that victory (1 Corinthians 15:20-22).
So trust Him—fully, honestly, without bargaining. Lay down the weight of self-salvation and receive what He freely gives. Christ has never lost a soul entrusted to Him, and He will not start with you. He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, because He lives to intercede for them (Hebrews 7:25).

Lord Jesus, I place my trust in You alone for salvation. Not my works, not my resolve, not my past or future—but You. Hold me fast, keep me faithful, and teach me to rest in Your finished work. Amen.
