I have told lies, stolen and cheated on tests while in high school. If someone were to say: "I don't believe you or , trust you." I would have to say "I understand." Even though I am not that person anymore ( I have matured and have developed into a more reliable human), I am not perfect.
I have to snicker when I hear a young person say "I don't believe you don't trust me!" We would support, encourage, mentor them but the keys to the car every night? "No. The reason is not the trust factor that you mean....." and so you explain for a number of hours until it's to late for them to go anyway.
You had better not trust every chair that comes along. I speak from experience, sitting in some weak lawn chairs that have bent or snapped.
You can be sincere about believing the boat will get you across the lake, but you had better first look for holes and cracks.
When it comes to heaven or hell, living for eternity with God or not, there will will be many ideals and person, asking for your trust. Be sure to check for leaks.
Through life experiences and God's word and following Christ, being taught, comforted, and convicted by God's Holy spirit, we believers know it is trustworthy and reliable. Jesus said: " For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Psalms of the Bible tells us to; "Trust God and do good."
