God requires that we place our trust in Christ.

Without that trust, without that faith, the benefits of his death are not yours.

for the just shall live by faith.

Trust. We trust in Christ, but trust is also a defining characteristic of a Christian.

Hello and welcome to renewing your mind, and it's good to have you with us on this Tuesday.

I'm Lee Webb. The message you're about to hear goes back to the early days of R.C. Sproles' ministry. He delivered it to a small group of men, and it was part of a series he titled Meaning for Men.

Let's join R.C. now as he teaches on the trust of a man.

God made a promise to Abraham.

Do you remember the story how that in his old age when Abraham's wife was well beyond the

years of childbearing, how that God called to this man and took him out into the darkness

of the night and he said, Abraham, look to the stars in the sky and count them if you can.

For God says, your descendants will be more than the stars of the sky,

more than the sand along the seashore.

It was on that occasion that God said that out of Abraham's own loins would come a child of promise.
