 Preparation for Heavenly Living Correspondence School 
http://www.geocities.com/bibleloverbillPFHL Course 411-- Trust(Special Compilation of Verses by Bill Stevenson)
 Directions:Answer the thought provoking questions. Notice the subtitles. Sometimes the questionor questions will refer to more than one passage, so before answering such read all  Scripture until the next question. This assignment is worth 3 units, so write at least 4 quality pages (single spaced lines and no redundancies).
 Introduction:Trust is so important, especially in a Christian’s growth in faith. The word “believe” inthe New Testament usually means “believe with complete trust as if one’s life depended on such”. Remember, it wasn’t just Judas who did not completely trust Jesus Christ about what He said about Him being resurrected from death. They were very scared after the Crucifixion.1.)What do these passages say about trust? How is trust related to doubt?
Matthew 2816 Then the eleven Disciples went away into Galilee,onto a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him:but some doubted.18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying,“All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in Earth.19 Go ye therefore,and teach all nations, baptizing themin the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:and, lo, I am with you always,even unto the end of the world. Amen.”John 2018 Mary Magdalene came and told the Disciples that she had seen the Lord,and that He had spoken these things unto her.19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,when the doors were shut where the Disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them,“Peace be unto you.”20 And when he had so said, He showed unto them His hands and His side.Then were the Disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.21 Then said Jesus to them again,“Peace be unto you:as my Father hath sent Me,even so send I you.”22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them,“Receive ye the Holy Ghost:23 Whosesoever sins ye remit,they are remitted unto them;and whosesoever sins ye retain,they are retained.”

24 But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called Didymus,was not with them when Jesus came.25 The other Disciples therefore said unto him,“We have seen the Lord.”But he said unto them,“Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails,and put my finger into the print of the nails,and thrust my hand into His side,I will not believe.”26 And after eight days againHis disciples were within, and Thomas with them:then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,“Peace be unto you.”27 Then saith He to Thomas,“Reach hither thy finger, and behold My hands;and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into My side:and be not faithless, but believing.”28 And Thomas answered and said unto Him,“My Lord and my God.”29 Jesus saith unto him,“Thomas, because thou hast seen Me,thou hast believed:blessed are they that have not seen,and yet have believed.”30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His Disciples,which are not written in this Book:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;and that believingye might have life through His name.
Wrong things and people to trust in:
2.)What is vanity? What does recompense mean? Why would trusting in vanity lead encourage one tolie and become wicked?
Job 1531 Let not him that is deceived
trust in vanity,
 for vanity shall be his recompense.Isaiah 591 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save;neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity;your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth:they
trust in vanity, and speak lies
;they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.Jeremiah 135 “This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me”, saith the LORD,“because thou hast forgotten Me, and
trusted in falsehood
.”

3.)What does trusting in your own heart mean? What and who are you relying on for your decisions?What does trusting in beauty mean? What does trusting in one’s own righteousness mean?
Proverbs 2826
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool;
  but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.Ezekiel 1615 “But thou didst
trust in thine own beauty
,and playedst the harlot because of thy renown,and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.”Hosea 1013 “Ye have
plowed wickedness
,ye have
reaped iniquity
;ye have
eaten the fruit of lies,
  because thou didst
trust in thy way
,
in the multitude
of thy mighty men.”Isaiah 4710 “For thou hast
trusted in thy
 
wickedness
:thou hast said, ‘None seeth me.’
Thy wisdom and thy knowledge
, it hath perverted thee;and thou hast said in thine heart, ‘I am, and none else beside me.’11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee;thou shalt not know from whence it riseth:and mischief shall fall upon thee;thou shalt not be able to put it off:and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.12 Stand now with thine
enchantments
, and with the multitude of thy
sorceries
,wherein thou hast labored from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so bethou mayest prevail.13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels.Let now the
astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators,
stand up,and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.14 Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them;they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame:there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.15 Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast labored,even thy
merchants
, from thy youth:they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.”Ezekiel 3313 When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live;if he
trust to his own righteousness
, and commit iniquity,all his righteousness shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.Luke 189 And He spoke this parable unto certain who 
trusted in
 
themselves that they were righteous
,and despised others:10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray;the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,‘God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.’
