I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area at the height of the Hippie movement and Jesus Freak era. I know… that might explain a great deal to some of you about me!!!! And yes, I played the drums in a “rock band”… my mother’s shattered nerves!
One of the staples of that culture was the “Love in or Free Love.” However, for the past 50 years, I have been telling people about a real Free Love, a love you can never earn and a love you can never lose. (John 3:16, 5:24)
But many Christan’s believe that simply believing is too simple. It is too easy.
As Charlie Bing reminds us, the two words seem similar but they are different. According to the Meriam-Webster Dictionary: • The meaning of easy is causing or involving little difficulty or discomfort, requiring or indicating little effort, thought, or reflection. • The meaning of simple is sheer, unmixed, free of secondary complications.
The saving message of eternal life is simple. All a person must do is believe that Jesus, the son of God who died and rose again to pay for their sin, can grant them eternal life. That is simple and uncomplicated. It might not be easy since, in my case, it caused me to realize that I would be going against all that my family taught me and would cause me some discomfort if not difficulty. But the Free Love of Jesus is simple to know and simple to receive. It is so simple that even a child can do it! Serving Him with you Until He comes for us. Fred |
