Faith In Christ Jesus : Faith is, first , that the character and motives of the Lord Jesus make Him worthy of trust. Second , having confidence in His ability to do just what He says He will do. Finally , taking of your self out of your own keeping and entrusting your self into Jesus’ keeping. 2 Timothy 1:12 is the perfect example of all three aspects of faith: (1) for I know whom I have believed , and (2) am persuaded that he is able to keep that which (3) I have committed unto him against that day. We are studying the Gospel of John, answering these questions: What is revealed of Jesus’ character or characteristics, motives, and abilities? What is indicated that you could confidently commit into Jesus’ keeping?
