Simply Love…
Today, let’s discover afresh how God’s greatest truth comes wrapped in beautiful simplicity.
They replied, ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.’
Acts 16:31
It started with an earthquake. A jailer’s world literally crumbling around him. In that moment of desperation, he discovered what we all eventually find – our own strength will never be enough. “What must I do to be saved?” His question pierced the darkness.
For centuries, religion had made salvation complicated. Endless rules. Constant striving. Never quite measuring up. But that night, in a prison of all places, heaven’s answer rang with breathtaking simplicity: “Believe in the Lord Jesus.”
Not “get better first” or “prove yourself worthy.” Not “try harder” or “do more.” Just believe. Trust. Receive. In that moment, a prison became a sanctuary, and a jailer discovered what countless hearts have found since – when we stop trying to save ourselves, we find the One who already has.
That same invitation lights up every dark place today: believe in Jesus. Let grace do what all our striving never could.
Dear Lord, Sometimes, I complicate what You’ve made so simple. Thank You that You don’t require perfection—just faith. When doubts creep in or I’m tempted to rely on my own efforts, remind me that Your grace is sufficient. Help me rest in the beautiful simplicity of believing in You. Thank You for saving me, just as I am. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Your life as a Christian should make nonbelievers question their disbelief in God.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed 🙏🏼
