Faith Alone In The Savior: Simple But Not Insignificant

There are lots of simple and uncomplicated activities and events in this blue planet of ours that carries with it tremendous significance.
Saying "I do" at a wedding ceremony seems pretty simple. But it carries a tremendous lifelong significance. Simple does not mean insignificant. There are simple events that are, in fact, momentous.
Stepping inside a plane and willing to fly in it is simple and yet it is a tremendously significant event. You are entrusting your safety and security to it.
Stepping inside a boat is the same. Depositing your life savings in a bank is another. We could cite other examples.
A lot of people are turned off by the simplicity of the condition of salvation (faith alone) saying: "What? That simple! No! That's too good to be true!"
But simple doesn't have to mean insignificant. Yes, entrusting your eternal destiny to Christ by simply putting your reliance on what He did on the cross is simple enough. But, look, at what you are entrusting and committing to Him --- Your ETERNAL DESTINY! It is something tremendously significant.
Are you willing to do the simple and yet tremendously significant act of the heart of trusting in Christ and what He did on the cross for your salvation?
