John 14:1 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
Jesus knew how much He was up against because He could see in the hearts of His chosen people. He could see that they had this belief in God because of all the things that had happened in the past, but they did not want to believe in Him.
For us to place our faith and trust in Jesus means that we have to not just believe in Him but we have to listen to what He teaches us. That is also going to mean that we need to turn our backs on the world and actually listen to His instruction daily.
