What is “the Simplicity that is in Christ”?
Salvation is very simple, but we are taught otherwise.
The problem — sin has separated us from God and we have earned death!
To be eternally with God is a two step process:
- Forgiveness by God.
- Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
What can WE do about Step 1? NOTHING, but God can and DID.
Without asking us to do anything, at the Cross, God forgave ALL sin. See Forgiven at the Cross above.
Now, universal forgiveness is NOT universal salvation — but God taking the initiative to forgive all of us of all of our sin made your salvation possible.
The Gospel Paul delivered to us is this:
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, ... by which also you are saved, ... how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" — 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
It’s the clear message of grace revealed to our Apostle Paul — that God has already done everything needed for our salvation.
We need only to believe that and accept it.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." — Ephesians 2:8-9

What must we do?
The answer hasn’t changed since Acts 16:31 — “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.”That’s the simplicity in Christ: Trust ONLY in what He did, not what you can do.

"...God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing
their trespasses to them..."
