He who has two grounds of trust is lost! He who relies upon twosalvations, and cannot say of Christ, “He is all my salvation and all my desire, ” that man is not only in danger of beinglost, but he is already condemned; because, in fact, he believes not on the Son of God! He is not alive to God at all, but rests partly on the Cross, and then in some measure on something else. Charles Haddon Spurgeon
About This Quote

The relationship between trust in Christ and trust in people is an interesting one. When we place our trust in Christ, we are trusting in His ability to do something amazing for us. We are trusting that He will take care of us every time we get into trouble, that He will give us strength when we are down, that He will never stop loving us even when we are at our worst. However, when we put our trust in people instead of God, that’s another story.

Instead of relying on Jesus for salvation, we rely on people to do the work of salvation for us. Instead of trusting Jesus with everything, we rely on other people to pick up the slack when things get tough. We rely on people to save us, rather than God saving us through His Son.
