Overcomplicating the Uncomplicated

Takeaway: We have a habit of making salvation more complicated than it really is. Many Christians add a list of achievements to conquer, or sins to avoid, to become acceptable to God. We load burdens on ourselves and others to ensure God’s love. Many who are still considering Christ, resist faith until every box is checked. Our passage reminds us, salvation is much easier. Christ, who has done it all, is near. He calls you to confess and believe. How are you adding to the gospel? How are you making salvation more complicated?
