Jesus is trustworthy because He embodies goodness, righteousness, and truth, and has proven His steadfast character through His actions.
The character of Jesus is foundational to our understanding of trustworthiness. In the sermon, it is stated that He was always good, right, and true, embodying the perfect nature of God. Acts 10:38 declares that Christ went about doing good, which supports His trustworthiness. We also see evidence of His faithfulness throughout Scripture, where God's character is revealed as steadfast and immutable. Since Jesus fulfills the law and His promises are always yes and amen, we can confidently lean on His assured nature and know that He will never fail us.
