The simple Gospel

Reading: Exodus 18-19, Psalm 19, Romans 5, and Matthew 25

 

Scripture: Psalm 19:7, The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple

 

Thoughts: In school I remember being taught the acronym KISS (keep it simple…), the Gospel is simple yet we have a tendency to add to and make it complicated. Davis wrote about how God’s testimony makes wise the simple. The Jewish laws were numerous and complicated and would not actually forgive sin, where the Gospel was simple, believe and trust in the death and resurrection of Christ for the forgiveness of sin. The walking in the forgiveness and calling may be hard work but the faith in the Son is simple. 

 

Prayer: Father God, I thank you that you have made it simple, that you have made it that all who are willing to accept can understand and believe in your forgiveness. I ask that you help us to be more free with sharing your Gospel and your love. Lead us and guide us.
