It's Just That Easy

“Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” Psalm 37:3

It is astonishing the many ways man has supposed he comes to GOD.  Yet the LORD has made it so simple the smallest child can understand, “Trust in the LORD”!  That means to believe, rely on and adhere to. This is always the beginning of salvation.

We have a problem with some that want to mix their works with the “born-again” experience. It is easy to understand we had nothing to do with  the first birth, but when it comes to the second (rebirth) we have this crazy idea we have a part in it.  Obedience follows forgiveness. This is where works comes in. “do good”

Being obedient brings us peace.  It causes us to have fellowship with the ALMIGHTY.  Salvation is set in heaven but if we expect to live in peace in our  present state because of our love for GOD are obedient unto good works. “so shalt thou dwell in the land”.

Because we have trusted GOD and are obedient in our good works we have fellowship with HIM.  We live in peace and are constantly fed by His Word. “and verily thou shalt be fed.”

I trust you LORD, please forgive my sin.

I’m unable to work my way and win.

I’m weak and wicked in all that I do.

Hopelessly lost, I’m depending on You.

You’ve answered my prayer, You’ve set me free.

Now to the works that’ll make You proud of me.

Never more hungry or thirsty again.

Your Word dear JESUS, I’ll hid within.

Paul & Silas: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:31

Salvation is the same for all!  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
