In Whom Do You Trust?

1 Pet. 1:20-21

"He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God."

Josh explained "foreordained before the foundation of the world" to Beth, saying that God knew that Jesus would be the sacrificial lamb before the world was made.

The whole point of Christianity is that our faith and hope are in God, not in ourselves. Other religions require trust in your own self for good works, etc. Dad's example: If we take a trip to Lancaster, can Beth get there by herself with no help from us? Her faith and hope are in Daddy. She trusts him to get her there. And we trust Christ for what we can not do ourselves.
