Receiving the reason for your trust in God, your soul being saved from sin.

~~There is a reason we trust in God. We will receive a reward for trusting in him. Our very souls will be saved from the penalty of sin. Being saved from sin is an unusual thought for some. To some sin is something they strive to avoid but are allured by it. Actually we all are. It's our fallen nature. But, the reality is that sin is ugly. And God wants to save you from that ugliness. Being saved from sin so that sin no longer entices you or controls you is one of the greatest gifts God can give. When we trust him, and we know that he loves us; he gives us his very best. A life of meaning and purpose in this life and totally free from sin in the next. ~~
