simply believe

 Romans 1

16 For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ.

It is the power of God at work,

       saving everyone who believes;

       the Jew first and also the Gentile.

17 This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight.

        This is accomplished from start to finish by faith.

As the Scriptures say,

     "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."


So it's all about simply believing?

Simply believing...

Believing that because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can reconnect to God?

     Not cleaning ourselves up.

     Not saying or doing the right things.

     Not buying into a dogma.

     Well, not anything we can do - it's not about us taking action - it's about God taking action.

     We have to completely believe that our connection to God is made possible only because of Jesus.


Can you imagine the scandalous &/or whacko concept this was back then?

What am I saying....

It's a pretty scandalous & whacko concept today.
