What are the manifestations of real trust in God? People with real trust at least believe that God’s words are the truth and that they will come to pass and be fulfilled, and they believe that practicing according to God’s requirements is the correct path in life. In their lives, they pray to God and rely on God, bring God’s words into their real lives, and practice according to God’s words in all things, seek to be honest people, and live out the reality of God’s words. They not only believe in the existence and sovereignty of God, but also seek to submit to God’s orchestrations and arrangements in their real lives. If they are rebellious, they can reflect on themselves, accept the truth, accept God’s discipline, and achieve submission to God.

If you practice in this way, the truth you believe and acknowledge will become your life reality. This truth will be able to guide your thoughts, guide your life, and guide the direction that your entire life takes. At this time, you will be able to bring forth real trust in God. When you possess real belief in God and true submission, this produces real trust. This trust is genuine faith in God. Where does this genuine faith come from? It’s obtained by practicing and experiencing God’s words and thereby coming to understand the truth. The more people understand the truth, the greater their trust in God; the more they know of God, the more they truly submit to God. This is how people come to have genuine faith.
