GOSPEL LIGHT #784

Theresa Made It Easy and So Did God

I was once at a birthday celebration when something caught my attention. It made me "write home" so to speak. It gave me a gospel light to write about. 

In the middle of the party, the family decided to play a voice recognition game. The birthday celebrant was made to turn away from the crowd. One by one, people approached her from behind and greeted her. Her task was to correctly identify each person just by their voice.

Some people deliberately changed their voices, just to make the game a bit more difficult. Then came Theresa. Unlike the others, she spoke plainly and naturally, her voice distinct and unmistakable. The celebrant caught her voice and the prize was hers!

This is a beautiful illustration of how God made salvation accessible, uncomplicated and straightforward for us. He made faith in Christ as the condition of salvation! In His goodness and kindness to us, He made the condition of salvation very, very, very simple. 

Just like the celebrant didn’t have to struggle to recognize Theresa’s voice, we don’t have to figure out complicated requirements to receive salvation. Simply trust in Christ and what He did on the cross for you and you will be saved!
