Christ, glorified at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens, is presented by God to the whole world as the object of faith.
“Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time, His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” (Rom. 3:26.)
“Faith cometh by hearing” (or, a report), “and hearing by the Word of God.” (Rom. 10:17.)
God presents salvation in His word in the simplest manner possible for all. You may have it either by looking, hearing, coming, or taking.
Look.
“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.” (Isa. 45:22.)
Hear.
“Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live.” (Isa. 55:3.)
Come.
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt. 11:28.)
Take.
“Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” (Rev. 22:17.)
Could God make it more simple? Reader, will you be simple? Whether you look unto Him in the glory, hearken to His voice, come unto Him with your burden, or take His free gift, it is faith in each instance, and God says you are saved.
Will you take Him at His word?
Christ “was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 4:25; 5:1.)
