SIMPLICITY
Meaning.
The state of being simple, uncomplicated, or uncompounded.
1. The only instruction God gave Adam and Eve was ” …..but the tree in the midst of the garden, thou shalt not eat from eat” in Simplicity.
2. The only message Noah had for the people is “get in the ark for it shall rain” in Simplicity.
3. The only message the two angels gave Lot and his family was ” go out of Sodom and don’t look back” in Simplicity.
4. Jesus called his disciples by saying ” come follow me” in Simplicity
5. “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. This was Peter’s message preached in Simplicity and about 3,000 souls were baptized that day in the name of Jesus Christ.
6. Paul preaching to the Romans said “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” again in Simplicity.
7. God never presents to us tasks that we can not perform. The Simplicity of God is too simple for the wise of this world to comprehend. The pharisees failed to see that Jesus was the promised Messiah yet the fishermen and the woman with 5 husbands did. Salvation is free free free. God has made the way of salvation uncomplicated since the price was already paid at Calvary through the death of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Which of God’s instruction do you find too hard? Take an introspection and check whether humbleness is a part of you.
Shalom.
2 Kings 5:10-14 KJV
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
A humble, submitted heart, in the simplicity, is what brings you to God. And that’s true. Amen! A humble heart, God loves. Now, no matter if you don’t know your ABC’s, that don’t make any difference. Just a humble heart! God dwells in a humble heart; not in education, it’s not in schools, not in theology, seminaries, not in all these other different places; not in big words, or not in classical places. God dwells in human heart. And the lower you can break yourself down, the more simple, you can become greater in the sight of God.
