In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves questioning whether we've truly embraced salvation. The Bible reminds us that faith in Jesus is the key. By accepting Him as our Lord and Savior, we are promised eternal life, not based on our merits but on His grace. When we lean on our faith, we can have confidence in our salvation because it is not dependent on our actions but on the steadfast love of Christ. Each verse reflects this beautiful truth that we can trust, rest, and celebrate in God's promises.
