All that God is and all that God does is perfect, Psalm 18:30. This is why we can trust him. It is the work of Satan to teach that God is unjust and unmerciful. All false religions attack God's character through their doctrine. The Calvinist religion teaches that God is an unjust, unmerciful tyrant that delights in sending people to hell before they are born. Catholicism teaches that God is a taskmaster that will punish you if you fail to live up to what is required. If you question the Catholic church you may become anathema (kicked out of the Catholic church).
The basis for ones faith is to believe that God and his Son Jesus Christ are just, merciful, righteous and holy in all that they say and do. If you don't have confidence in God and his Son Jesus Christ you may not have saving faith and are lost.
Paul wrote,
"There remains a rest to the people of God. For he that has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief" Hebrews 4:9-11.
We rest in the holy nature of God. We that are saved believe that God and his Son Jesus Christ will do all that they promised to do. All of the promises that God made to Israel were fulfilled when he gave them Jesus Christ. God's word is like gold, it always accomplishes his purpose.
Beware of those who try to undermine the just, merciful, righteous, holy nature of God and his Son Jesus Christ. Salvation always has been by grace through faith. If you doubt God or Christ you have defective faith and may not be saved. The word faith appears in the 11th chapter of Hebrews 22 times.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God MUST believe that he is, and that he is the rewarder of them that diligently seek him" Hebrews 11:6.
