Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
Why is it that we have a natural inclination to complicate the message of salvation? We tend to take simple things and make them complicated and difficult to understand. I am excited that our Lord and His Holy Word (the Bible) takes difficult things and makes them easy to comprehend! Salvation is so very simple! BELIEVE in your heart that He is what He says that HE is, then CONFESS with your mouth what your heart knows is true, and you will be SAVED! Recently, I had the privilege to lead a young man to Christ, and I shared the simple plan of God’s salvation, and when he had assured me that he believed that Jesus was the Christ and that He had died on the cross and was raised from the dead and that He was with God the Father, and that He loved him enough to shed His blood to save his soul, and he confessed this fact and asked Jesus into his life, and he looked at me and asked, “Is that it?” I said, “Yes!” “That is so simple!” Folks, the God that made this universe, knows the number of hairs on your head (for me, I am making the counting easier as I age), and has ordained your destiny, has made His Love and Redemption simple enough for sinful humans to comprehend! PRAISE GOD for the simplicity of His Message and the Power of His Grace! Trusting Christ is as simple as receiving a gift! Receiving the gift of Grace, through Jesus Christ (John 3:16). Now is the time to receive the gift of God! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
