THE SIN OF UNBELIEF!

THE FIRST SIN WAS THE FAILURE TO TRUST GOD!

Genesis 3:1-6 - Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.  And he said unto the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:  but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:  for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

GOD ALONE IS TRUSTWORTHY!

2 Samuel 22:31 - As for God, His way is perfect; the Word of the LORD is tried (has been tested and found to be true):  He is a buckler (a shield; defender) to all those that trust in Him.

Job 13:15 - Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him....

Psalm 34:22 - The LORD redeems the soul of His servants:  and none of those who trust in Him shall be desolate (found guilty).

Psalm 62:7-8 - In God is my salvation and my glory:  the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.   Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him:  God is a refuge for us.

Psalm 73:28 - But it is good for me to draw near to God:  I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all Thy works.

Psalm 125:1 - Those who trust in the LORD shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abides forever.

Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 30:5 - Every Word of God is pure:  He is a shield unto those who put their trust in Him.

Nahum 1:7 -  The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.

Hebrews 2:9-13 - But we see Jesus, Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man.  For it became Him, for Whom are all things, and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons (children) unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.  For both He that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one:  for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare Thy name unto My brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto Thee.  And again, I will put my trust in Him.  And again, Behold I and the children which God has given Me.

WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH IN GOD WHOM WE TRUST!

2 Corinthians 1:9-10 - But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God Who raises the dead:  Who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver:  in Whom we trust that He will yet deliver us....

Hebrews 13:20-21 - Now the God of peace, Who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever.  Amen.
