 As simple as eating bread.
"I am the bread of life, he who comes to Me shall not hunger,
and he who believes in Me shall never thirst…. I am the living
bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats this bread,
he shall live forever; and the bread also which I shall give
for the life of the world is my flesh." (Joh. 6:35, Joh. 6:51)
As simple as entering a door.
"I am the door, if anyone enters through Me, he shall be
saved." (Joh. 10:9a)
As simple as receiving a gift.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom. 6:23)
As simple as calling for help.
"For whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be
saved." (Rom. 10:13)
As simple as the trust of a
child."And He called a child to Himself and set him
before them, and said, 'truly I say to you, unless you are
converted and become like children, you shall not enter the
kingdom of heaven.'" (Mat. 18:2-3)
As simple as believing in
Jesus Christ. "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who
believes (in Me) has eternal life." (Joh. 6:47) "I am the
resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live
even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me
shall never die. Do you believe this?" (Joh. 11:25-26)
Each of
the examples and illustrations is designed to show the
simplicity of faith. The scripture says. "So faith comes from
hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." (Rom. 10:17)
Faith is trusting what the word of God says. In the final
analysis, it all comes down to the question in the above
passage, "Do you believe this?" Your response will determine
your eternal destiny; either heaven or hell. Don't stumble
over the simplicity of the Gospel!
