Don't Complicate It

Being Christians, we should not make the Christian walk complicated. It is simple. We should teach it in a simple way and live it out in a simple way. Satan tries to make people think it is complicated and hard to live out, and that's because he doesn't want anyone to be saved and added to the kingdom of God. He doesn't want anyone to go to heaven. So he muddies the waters and complicates things. 

We are taught in First John 2:6 to "walk as Jesus did." We represent Jesus now, so we should do what Jesus did. So, what did he do while he was here? He went about doing good. Easy peezy!!

Acts 10:38 NIV

[38] how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

King David said the same thing thousands of years ago...

Psalms 37:3 NIV

[3] Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.37.3.NIV

That's what God wants us to do to be like Jesus. Trust Him and do good. Do good and be good. Simple!!! In a nut shell BE GOOD. Pursue goodness in all that we do or say and then we are like Jesus.

Paul said it in Romans 12...

Romans 12:21 NIV

[21] Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

https://bible.com/bible/111/rom.12.21.NIV

We overcome evil with good.

Want to change the world around you? Want to be like Jesus? Be good and do good. 

"Trust in God and do good." The Christian life is not hard. It is not complicated. Be and do good just like Jesus did!! And God will use us to impact other people. He will use us so others will be saved too. 

Be good!!

Love you all dear readers,
