The Beauty Of God's Simple Plan Of Salvation

Mark 4:31, "It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth."

Dear reader, the beauty of God's simple plan of salvation is that in the Scripture we're never given a level of faith that has to be reached in order to go to Heaven. Isn't that wonderful?

In fact, Jesus said all we needed is the smallest amount of faith, using a mustard seed as an example. A mustard seed is the tiniest seed in the world. I thank God that He thought about me and made salvation simple, easy and free, unlike men who seem to always try to get people to doubt their salvation. I have enough faith that I believe Jesus' word, even when my mind doesn't understand or can't fathom it.

Here is the gospel: God says that we are sinners and that no amount of good works or behavioral changes on our part could ever make us holy enough to enter Heaven. God sent His only begotten Son to pay for all of our sins on Calvary's cross 3,000 years ago. Jesus paid for our crimes by dying on the cross for us all. His dead body was buried in a grave. On the third day, Jesus arose from the dead. The instant you believe this, God knows it and He saves you. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” The free gift is based solely upon your trust in what Jesus did for you and has nothing at all to do with what you do for Him. Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Simply believe that Jesus did it all for you.
