Why do we as human beings have a tendency to make religion, faith, the bible, and Christian life so complicated and complex?

The Gospel message is quite simple, and it is not about religion it is about a relationship in which all humans were designed for; with God and others.

God cannot accept sin, and the fall of humanity happened in the Garden of Eden which causes separation from God. A great divide. The wages of sin is death. God so loved humanity they he suffered and died on the cross in Jesus Christ for payment of humanities sin. Jesus is the bridge of the great divide.

This is the gift of eternal life with God by accepting this gift, confessing with your mouth, believing in your heart, repenting, and moving forward to strive to love, lead, teach, serve and live a life as Christ did. To live a life worthy of his horrific crucifixion and death for you.

It is that simple. Really.

Acceptance of Christ, you become an adopted son of the Kingdom of God. You become an apprentice of Jesus Christ. You are a new person through and with Him. You appreciate, enjoy, honor and respect that relationship by gathering with others, learning/worshiping/repenting/serving in church, learning and growing by reading and studying the bible and applying those principles in your life. You share this Good News, the Gospel with others by teaching what Christ taught, striving to live as He did, baptizing others in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And you are never alone as He is always with you.
