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 146:3, Good 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.

• To learn why you can trust Jesus, read the articles “Who Is the King of God’s Kingdom?” and “What Will God’s Kingdom Accomplish?”
