THE GOSPEL IS NOT COMPLICATED

In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then,?and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which?you have once put of ]. GALATIANS 5:1

Jesus came to this world and paid for our sins, taking our punishment upon Himself. He became our substitute, paid the debt we owed, at no cost to us. He did all this freely because of His great love, grace, and mercy.

Jesus inherited all the Father has to give and tells us that we are joint heirs with Him by virtue of our faith. He has provided the way for our complete victory both here and hereafter. He has conquered, and we get the reward without paying the price. We are more than conquerors.

How much simpler could it be? The Gospel is wonderfully uncomplicated. Complication is the work of Satan. He hates simplicity because he knows the power and? the joy that our faith brings. Whenever your relationship with God becomes complex,?return to the simplicity of believing like a little child. Jesus said, “only believe” and you will?see the glory of God (John 11:40). Return to the basis and celebrate the simplicity of your faith in?Jesus alone.

Believing is so much simpler than not believing.
