Let Us Trust in the Lord After He Saves Us
(Psalm 118:8-9)

​Introduction:

         1. These verses touch on the value of "trusting in the Lord" -- trusting in Him is better than
             putting confidence in men, including princes.
         2. This morning we studied passages that relate to "trusting in the Lord for salvation."
         3. The Scriptures also teach that we are to continue "trusting in the Lord after He saves us."
         4. In our lesson we will point out:
             a. where the Lord is
             b. what the Lord does
             c. what the Lord wants us to do.

Discussion:

I.            TO  TRUST  IN  THE  LORD  WE  MUST  KNOW  WHERE  HE  IS


         A. After He was resurrected Jesus was with His followers 40 days (Acts 1:1-3).
         B. After this 40-day period Jesus ascended to heaven (Luke 24:50-51).
         C. More specifically, in heaven Jesus "sat on the right hand of God" (Mark 16:19).
         D. During His trials this is where Jesus said He would be (Luke 22:66-69).
         E. At the present time Jesus is at the Father's right hand.
              1. This is where Stephen saw the Lord (Acts 7:55).
              2. Peter said that Jesus "is on the right hand of God" (1 Peter 3:20-21).

II.           TO  TRUST  IN  THE  LORD  WE  MUST  KNOW  WHAT  HE  DOES  AT  THE  FATHER'S 
              RIGHT  HAND


         A. He "intercedes" on behalf of His followers (Romans 8:34).
         B. He rules as "the head of His church" (Ephesians 1:15-23).
         C. He is "God's spokesman" (Hebrews 1:1-3).
         D. He is "High Priest" (Hebrews 8:1; 10:11-14).

III.           TO  TRUST  IN  THE  LORD  WE  MUST  FULFILL  OUR  RESPONSIBILITIES  TO  HIM 
               AS  HE  DOES  THE  FATHER'S  WILL  AT  THE  FATHER'S  RIGHT  HAND


         A. We are to focus on Him as we run the race (Hebrews 12:1-3).
         B. We are to seek things that are above (Colossians 3:1-4).

Conclusion:

         1. Before we determine whether people are trustworthy, we want to know them.
         2. The better we know the Lord the more we will trust Him.
         3. I hope that our study of these passages has helped us to increase our knowledge of the Lord
             so our trust in Him will grow.
