1 | 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.

2 | Romans 10:9: is it too simple? | Rom 10:9 | Robert Nicholson | 47292 | ||
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 |
