For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. believed: or, trusted - 2 Timothy 1:12
True faith is based upon a knowledge of Christ, “I know whom I have believed,” a confidence in Christ, “I am persuaded he is able to keep,” and involves a committal to Christ, “that which I have committed unto him against that day.” Those who savingly come to the Lord Jesus do so willingly, lovingly, confidently, and completely. It is unworthy of his great name and person to talk of a partial surrender, a token allegiance, or a part-time profession and discipleship. I believe Paul is saying, “I have committed my soul to him to save, my sins to him to forgive, my life to him to order and arrange, my possessions to him to share, my body to him to raise and make like his glorious body.”
