...But heres what I think. We have an issue with the fact that the message is too simple... Believe and be saved... Believe and be kept... We cant seem to comprehend that such a big God wouldnt want anything more than just Believe Our minds would rather accept that we need to do something at least to gain acceptance and approval other than believe. We need to add some level of work to this thing to make it complete. We compare God to our natural parents who we have to strive to please day and night with what we do... People who punish us for what we do wrong and we wonder why God our Big Father would then say All is forgiven even when you havent yet sinned. We forget that God already considered us... Our frailty, our weakness, our pain, our infirmities and took care of them in Christ. He isnt a bully that he would place such a high standard that is totally unreachable and tell you to keep struggling to get there. No! When he placed that standard(the law) he knew that we would never be able to get it. He knew we were gone if we tried to obey the law by ourselves and so he came himself (Jesus) fulfilled the law, attained the standard and made it simple In me you have obeyed all the commandments... Just Believe The message is simple JUST BELIEVE! Any other thing added or subtracted makes it complicated and that is Religion.... That is what kills #dasall Lest I forget... #GraceisALL SSEA
