They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your household.” – Acts 16:31
How amazing is it that the message of salvation is so simple? God’s plan for us isn’t complicated or hidden. It’s right in front of us, summed up in one beautiful truth: believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. That’s it. No list of rituals, no mountain of good deeds to climb—just faith in Jesus.
The Simplicity of the Gospel
From the beginning, God’s desire has been to restore our relationship with Him. Through Jesus, that restoration became possible for everyone who believes. He came to earth, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again so we could have eternal life. Salvation is not about religion, rules, or ritual. It’s about Jesus—His love, His sacrifice, and our faith in Him.
Why Do We Complicate It?
Human nature tends to make simple things complex. We create systems, traditions, and theologies to explain God’s work, but sometimes those very things distract us from the truth. The gospel doesn’t need to be dressed up or rewritten. It just needs to be believed. God’s love is pure, direct, and offered freely through Christ.
Keep It Simple: Believe
It’s really simple. God sent His Son—Jesus. Whoever believes in Him—Jesus. He died and rose again to save us—Jesus. God loves us—Jesus. Everything begins and ends with Him. Don’t let anything distract you from the beautiful simplicity of faith. Just believe.
