Trusting in God's ability means relying on His power to fulfill His promises and ensure our salvation (2 Timothy 1:12).
Trusting in God's ability entails a complete reliance on His power to perform what He has promised. In 2 Timothy 1:12, Paul expresses confidence, stating, '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.' This sense of assurance is not based on personal merit or capabilities, but on a deep-seated belief in God's sovereign faithfulness. Trusting in His ability also means understanding that while we are incapable of securing our own salvation, God is fully capable of sustaining us through all circumstances, even in suffering and trials. Such trust directs believers to live in light of God's character, to lean on His strength in times of weakness, and to rejoice in the hope of eternal life.
