With great delight, I trust in no one and nothing but The Lord Jesus Christ right now, and I should, for my Soul has no one else to trust to. My Soul has nothing but the Blood of Jesus Christ to trust to in this life. I am simply Accepting, Trusting, Believing, Relying, resting on Jesus. I am all the more trustful in Christ Jesus, since I have nothing in myself to rely upon. Faith is the trusting simply to what Jesus has done, and nothing I have done or ever will do. Look away from self, and trust only to the Lord Jesus Christ for Salvation.
Faith from above focuses my trust in the Precious Blood. The Lamb of God is all my Salvation from beginning to end. You're not any good, but Jesus is altogether Good. The true way of Salvation is trusting only to the living person of Jesus Christ. All my desires, attitudes, opinions must be crucified. What will you do when it really comes time for your to Die and go out into Eternity, if your Soul has no Savior?
THINK - fix your mind'e eye on JESUS, and trust and believe Him completely. Think of Him, Assent to the Gospel, Believe the Truth, Receive and Trust the Person, Nature, and Blood of God's dear Son. Look to Jesus now by simple faith in His Atonement. Every will have a righteousness, one kind or another, but if he doesn't receive the God-given Righteousness of Jesus Christ, he will seek to have one of his own making. Self-righteous men try to manufacture a righteousness out of that which is within them, but this they can never do. The only RIGHTEOUSNESS that will stand the test of the day of Judgment is that which the Father freely gives to sinners who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Law says, "Work to obtain life." The Gospel says, "You have Eternal Life freely given to you in Christ Jesus, and now go live and work for JESUS out of gratitude and love for Him. Here's the whole plan of Salvation: Christ is preached, sinners hear the message of the Gospel, they think about the Gospel, assent to the facts of the Gospel, believe the Gospel for themselves, and then trust and receive Jesus Christ into themselves by faith in His Atoning Blood. Ask the living God for living Faith in the Crucified and Risen Savior.
Human doings and external religious paraphernalia and performances are all in vain. Religion complicates the Gospel and destroys men's souls. Here is the Gospel of the Grace of God: Place your faith in the meritorious bloody Sacrifice which JESUS made when He laid down His life for ungodly sinners. The whole tendency and propensity of unrenewed human nature is ever towards rebellion and iniquity. Trusting to yourself in any way is very deadly, to trust to JESUS is Safe. Every bit of my Righteousness is found in Jesus Christ.
Trust to the merits of God's dear Son. We are absolved only virtue of His great atoning Sacrifice. Trust alone to Jesus Christ at one, for He is the sinner's Savior. Faith in Jesus Christ always saves the Soul. Simply trusting Him, wholly and entirely, only Hide yourself in Jesus by trusting in His atoning Sacrifice. Commit your Soul to Christ for safekeeping - Trusting, Believing, Relying, Depending, Resting on Him. Human nature struggles, strives, frustrates, frets, searches, and worries itself to get a righteousness of its own which will never satisfy/propitiate the Almighty.
The submission of our proud self-righteous will to the Righteousness of God is the answer. Lay aside your own righteousness, and just take the Righteousness freely. You have nothing that could ever help pay off the terrible debt which you have incurred through your sins. Self-righteousness says, "Help folks out, do your best, make the world a better place to live in." Have done with our own righteousness, self-idolatry, and false confidences. Have done with all your attempts at self-salvation.
Christ Jesus is my only Savior; He finished my Salvation and Righteousness on the Cross of Calvary with His own life's Blood. I depend on Him, I lean on Him with all my weight, and all my Soul. Guilty, polluted, vile, foul by nature, I need His Precious Blood. You cannot cease from your evil habits without the power of the Holy Spirit. Cease from trusting in yourself: Glory only in the Lord Jesus Christ. Trust to enter Heaven by Christ's Free Grace alone. Trust everything you are to Jesus Christ. Faith in believing the Person of Jesus Christ.
He that believeth on the SON hath everlasting life. JESUS is God, He is also man, He is the appointed, sanctified, anointed, and sealed Savior of the whole world, that means He died for you. In His Death, He is the Propitiation for Sin; In His Resurrection, He is our Justification; in His Intercession, He si our eternal Guarantee of Salvation and Preservation. Give up all earthly confidence, all human hope, and repose in Christ crucified, and find Rest unto your Soul.
Look to Jesus, Look for Him, Look to the quickening Spirit. Trust in JESUS to break the power of Sin within you. Desire to be freed from sin's bondage. Look to Jesus for Help. Look to His Almighty Grace. And this is Life Eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. To know Jesus Christ is Life Eternal. At once, look to Christ crucified for your guilty soul. Panting after Christ's Righteousness is infinitely better than to be a self-righteous Christ rejecter.
Humbly read the Scriptures, trusting only to the Guidance of the Holy Spirit, and that He lead you into all Truth. Go to the holy God through the Holy Mediator. Trust to His Atoning Sacrifice for your sins, and be ye reconciled to God by Him who became Sin for you, and put away Sin for you. Ask JESUS to release you from the power of the sins that dwell within you.
