The believers true strength is found in an unchanging truth—trust in the Lord. This is not a theoretical idea, but a living, breathing reality made possible through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. . This trust is not merely emotional or circumstantial; it is anchored in the eternal sacrifice and victory of Christ Jesus on the cross.
Trust: Rooted in the Cross
Our ability to trust God isn’t based on our works. It’s born out of what God did for us on the cross. The cross is not just a moment in history; it’s the defining event of eternity that plays out in the life of every believer daily. Easter is not seasonal for us—it’s our lifestyle(daily experience). The resurrection was not only proof that death was defeated; it brought the Spirit of God to dwell within us. That indwelling Spirit is the ultimate evidence that God is alive in us. As Scripture says:
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” —John 19:30 (KJV)
The Greek word Jesus used—“tetelestai” (τετέλεσται)—means more than “done.” It means “paid in full,” “completed,” “fulfilled.” What was finished? The long-anticipated redemption of mankind. The price for sin. The barrier between man and God. The work of Jesus at that moment satisfied the demands of divine justice.
The journey to ‘It is finished’
The journey to “It is finished” was not without suffering. Jesus had declared severally through out the scriptures that, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), but on the cross, he cried out in agony:
“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” —Matthew 27:46 (KJV)
This wasn’t a loss of divinity but a deep experience of humanity bearing the weight of the world’s sin, Jesus felt the separation from the Father. And as He gave up His spirit, something supernatural happened:
“…behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom…” —Matthew 27:51 (KJV)
This wasn’t symbolic, it was divine access being granted. Before, only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies, and even then, only with blood and fear. But now, through the blood of Christ, every believer has unrestricted access to God (Hebrews 10:19-20). The divine barrier had been torn.
Life: What Man Always Needed
From the beginning, what man lacked was not law or religion, it was life. In Genesis, Adam’s choice wasn’t merely disobedience; it was a rejection of life itself. Sin was the consequence, not the root. God’s plan has always been to restore life:
“…God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life…” —1 John 5:11-12 (KJV)
This is not an afterlife promise, it’s a now reality. Eternal life began the moment you received Christ. This life was not an afterthought, it was God’s promise from the very beginning:
“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” —Titus 1:2 (KJV)
Without this life, humanity is destined to self-destruct. But God refused to leave us in that state.
Love That Went All the Way
Jesus didn’t just come as God; He came as man – lowly, humble, and rejected. Isaiah foresaw it:
“…his visage was so marred more than any man…” —Isaiah 52:14 (KJV)
“He hath no form nor comeliness… we esteemed him not.”
—Isaiah 53:2-3 (KJV)
He bore our pain, carried our grief, and fulfilled every requirement of the law:
“…he that is hanged is accursed of God…”
—Deuteronomy 21:23 (KJV)
He didn’t abolish the law; He fulfilled it:
Think not that I am come to destroy the law… but to fulfill.”
—Matthew 5:17 (KJV)
By hanging on the tree, Jesus became the curse for us:
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law… that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ.”
—Galatians 3:13-14 (KJV)
His death was the price. But His resurrection was the proof.
Resurrection: The Birthplace of Trust
On the third day, He rose. Death, the last enemy, was defeated. This was not just a miraculous event, it was the dawn of a new creation. We boast now, not in our strength, but in the God who lives in us.
“If God be for us, who can be against us?”
—Romans 8:31 (KJV)
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus…”
—Romans 8:1 (KJV)
This is the foundation of our trust, Christ has done it all. The cross, the grave, the veil—each tells a part of the same story: God can be trusted. And our trust is not blind; it’s backed by divine proof.
Why do believers struggle to trust God
Why do many struggle to trust God? It’s a knowledge issue. That’s why the Bible was given to remind us continually of His goodness and faithfulness.
“…the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” —Daniel 11:32 (KJV)
God is searching for those who will trust Him wholeheartedly:
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro… to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” —2 Chronicles 16:9 (KJV)
When we trust God, we walk in the supernatural. Like the three Hebrew boys in the fire, we’ll see the Fourth Man standing with us (Daniel 3:25). This is the God-kind protocol—trust, even in the fire.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” —Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
Final Thoughts: Trust Is Our Testimony
Every believer is a living testimony that God can be trusted. We are the fruit of the resurrection, the carriers of divine life, and the evidence of God’s eternal plan. Let the world see in us that trust in the Lord is not just possible, it is powerful, practical, and proven.
This is the protocol of the God-kind.
