Why is it important for Christians to trust in Christ as their refuge?
Answered in 1 source
Trusting Christ as our refuge is vital as He is the only source of strength and salvation amidst life's trials and tribulations.
For Christians, relying on Christ as their refuge is essential for facing life’s challenges. Psalm 71 expresses a deep need for divine protection and strength, portraying God as a strong habitation and shelter in times of trouble. Jesus Himself invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28). This invitation highlights that true rest and refuge are found in Christ alone, especially when we confront our sins and struggles. By placing our trust in Him, we are assured that He will never cast us out (John 6:37) and will provide us with the strength needed to endure various trials.
