Many are stumbled at the simplicity of the gospel. When it is presented to them in all its fullness and scope, they declare that believing on the Lord Jesus Christ is "far too easy" a way to be saved forever.
Thank God, it is an "easy" way for sinners to be saved. Well might the poet Cowper sing: "0, how unlike the complex works of man, Heaven's easy, artless, unencumbered plan.”
Though an "easy" way for lost mankind, yet surely it is not "too easy," since it is obtained by believing in another by whom the difficult work has all been done—the Lord Jesus Christ.
It was not "easy" for Him to be mocked and insulted by men.
It was not "easy" for Him to be scourged, spat upon, and crucified.
It was not "easy" in the moment of His humiliation and agony, to be forsaken by God.
It was not "easy" for Him to be "wounded for our transgressions, and bruised for our iniquities.”
Though an easy way in man's view, it is God's only way of saving sinners. If you are not saved in that way, dear reader, you can never be saved at all.
“To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Rom. 4: 5.
