Trust
Trust and Faith – EM Bounds
Trust is faith that has become absolute, approved, and accomplished. When all is said and done, there is a sort of risk in faith and its exercise. But trust is firm belief; it is faith in full bloom. Trust is a conscious act, a fact of which we are aware.

The Bible is Sure! – Hudson Taylor
If the Bible were not true the sooner we found it out and threw it aside the better … but if it is true, the sooner we live up to it and act up to it the better. If any of you were offered a bank of England note, whether for five pounds or five thousand pounds, you would never doubt the value of it, you would take the words printed on it as sure. And are not the words printed in this book [the Bible] as sure?
