GOSPEL NUGGET #492

Many are wondering if they have truly trusted in Christ for salvation. Inwardly, they are asking: "Have I really trusted in Christ? What is it really to trust in Jesus for salvation?"

I hope this helps. In Latin, faith or trust is fide, as in conFIDEnce. Confidence is actually made of two words: "con" which means with and "fide" which means faith.

To have faith, therefore, is to have confidence. Are you confident that what Christ did on the cross was enough and sufficient for your salvation?

That's what it is to trust in Christ for salvation.
