Matthew 18:2-3 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them, and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
The simplicity of faith is in just believing, what is in the Bible is true, just believe it. We make life so complicated by trying to get behind all the thinking, the why’s, the reasons, the knowledge we need to have faith detracts from having faith. The sun comes up everyday, have faith in that, the wind blows, clouds are moisture trapped in the sky, we have faith in these things. Everyday we come across things that we have faith in, the more we experience it the deeper our faith becomes.
When it comes to the only religion in the world that is truly faith based, ‘Christianity’ we seem to exercise little faith, but large amounts of knowledge and theology. We have forgotten that once ‘we were blind but now we see’, we may want reasons and conditions, but we have a God who is alive today and who is still doing miracles and works amongst us. We need to simplify our faith, we need to be like children, childlike trusting, believing and never having a doubt. Jesus Christ loves you, have faith in that.
Be encouraged today to have simple faith.
Point to ponder: Be God’s child.
Question to consider: Do you have simple faith?
