Inspirational Thought
Faith: A Bond of Trust and Loyalty
By Sandino Roman
Faith in Jesus Christ is more than having a
testimony of Him – it means having trust in
Him.
When we have faith in Christ, we
recognize His blessings and develop a
relationship of trust with Him.
How does someone increase their trust in
Christ? They can start by meditating on
times that His Atonement and gospel
brought happiness to their life. Make a
record of these moments, including
experiences from loved ones and people in
the scriptures; then pray to Heavenly Father
“as if it were the first time.” Express love
and gratitude for His blessings and ask for
direction.
If you are sincere and humble, you will
hear His answer and begin a personal and
lasting relationship with Heavenly Father
and Jesus Christ. Not only that, but your
religious habits will become meaningful.
A true relationship with Jesus Christ means
making and honoring covenants with
faithfulness and loyalty. Faith is a principle
of action, without which it is impossible to
please God.
So, faith in Jesus Christ is a bond of trust,
forged in loyalty and love. In other words,
in gratitude for God’s merciful love, we
show our loyal love by keeping His
commandments.
