Whom Can You Trust?—⁠What Does the Bible Say?

 People are disappointed when those who are supposed to be trustworthy let them down. Many have lost trust in . . .

  •   political leaders who put their own interests ahead of the needs of the people.

  •   media outlets that fail to report the news fairly and accurately.

  •   scientists who do not act in the public’s best interest.

  •   religious leaders who are deeply involved in supporting politics rather than in representing God.

 People are right to be cautious about whom they trust. The Bible warns:

  •    “Don’t put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you.”—Psalm 146:3Good News Translation.

Someone you can trust

  The Bible identifies someone you can trust: Jesus Christ. He was not just a good man who lived many centuries ago. God appointed Jesus to “rule as King . . . , and there will be no end to his Kingdom.” (Luke 1:32, 33) Jesus is King of God’s Kingdom, a government now ruling from heaven.—Matthew 6:10.
