How do we know that Jesus Christ is our trust?

The assurance that Jesus Christ serves as our trust stems from His role as both God and man, our mediator. In Psalm 71, the psalmist embodies the voice of Christ, declaring trust in God, reflecting the believer's trust in the Savior's righteousness. Jesus fulfilled the law and bore our sins, ensuring that we can approach God boldly. As Romans 8 highlights, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, reaffirming that faith in Him is the foundation of our relationship with God. Our confidence in Christ is not based on our works but on His finished work, and this is the essence of sovereign grace theology.
