1 | Romans 10:9: is it too simple? | Rom 10:9 | 36445 | |||
Greetings in the Risen Christ. Dear Robert, Yes, it is too easy! Too easy for human reason, but the simplicity of God is beyond the created's ability. When we come to understand (if ever) the complexity of creation, we will probably find it to be simplicity, in God. How do you mean "fall in line?" Don |

2 | Romans 10:9: is it too simple? | Rom 10:9 | Robert Nicholson | 36455 | ||
Dear Don: The simplicity which is in Christ transcends human understanding and reasoning. What do I mean by falling in line. If I believe that he is raised from the dead, then my other thoughts about him will fall in to line. If "If I believe in my heart that God hath raised him from the dead" If I except this as a heart truth I will then accept my need before him, his sacrifical death for my sin upon the cross. "If Christ be not raised your faith is in vain, and you are yet in your sins" (1 Cor.15:17) God has shown us his acceptance of Christ as the sin bearer in that he raised him from the dead. Because he lives, we live in him and will be with him forever. I believe that the resurrection of Christ is the foundation to all gospel truths. If we do not accept this, than we will have nothing. In our risen Lord Robert |

3 | Romans 10:9: is it too simple? | Rom 10:9 | 2ndSamuel22 | 47255 | ||
Hosanna in the highest!! Simplicity--that is exactly what Jesus preached. All the times He rebuked the Pharisees, He was speaking directly at the complexity(ies) which they had added to the scriptures. That is what He meant when He said in Mark 10:15, " Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." In other words, salvation is so simple, even a child could understand it. And we should accept our salvation with the simple love of a child. Another verse which speaks to this is 2 Cor. 11:3--"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ."[emphasis mine] Compare our means of salvation to the many sacrifices the Jews had to offer in the old testament.

Greetings in our Saviour's name. Thank you for your thoughful response. I agree that we often frustrate the simplicity of the word of God. The Lord Jesus set the example by being clear and true in whatever he said. In Isaiah 35: 8 we read of the way of holiness and the statement is made "...the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." May God bless you Robert |
