“Seeing their faith, He said, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven you.’” (Luke 5:20)

Sin is not having the Father’s trust in the blood of His Christ as all-sufficient. There is a difference between having trust in God and having the trust of God. The imperative, “Have the trust of God,” is a decree, a declaration. We can trust we have been united in Christ’s death. We can trust we have been united in His resurrection. We receive God’s trust in His Son to accomplish His task, redeem us with His blood, and bind us to His love.

Thank God for Jesus’s trust working through You.

Father, thank You for Your trust in Your Son being expressed through my heart, mind, soul, and strength.
