To trust in Christ's love and grace is to know that we are loved no matter what we do, that Jesus is with us in whatever we face. To accept him as our Savior is to know that our salvation will not be found in power, money, prestige, family, or friends but only in Jesus Christ. To "follow and obey" acknowledges that we don't have the answers, but that we find our direction, our compass, our hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. The depth and radical nature of these promises takes a lifetime to understand and fully embrace.
