He insisted on paying for the gift?

Question

The giver of the gift told this one to simply believe and He will receive the gift of Life. This one could not believe that it could be so simple. Such a great gift HAS to have a high price attached to it. Still.. the Giver said.." the price has been paid in full". With a payment that satisfies the Giver completely

Why hate this God who has given us salvation freely through His Son's sacrifice. Is it that its too simple? Does complication appeal to us more?
I sat and asked myself this question. We will give ourselves to believe so many other things.. Even believe that there is NO God. Believe that we're ok in our existence, that there is not a deeper dimension to man's life and living on this earth.
What? Call upon the Name of the Lord and thats it? Believe in your heart and thats it? Seems to ridiculous, but its always been that simple. Believing is our receiving. Its so simple that its worth the try. You have nothing to loose. Simple is best. Give the Lord a try wil u?

lol reeree
Sry for the typo
that u'd nitpick at it is hillarious
lose.. happy?

Answer 1

God in his infinite wisdom,did break it down and made it very simple. Jesus simplified the 10 commandments by summing them in just two: Love God with all of your being and love your neighbor, as yourself. The half-brother of Jesus,"James"..borrowed some wisdom from his brother in stating that pure and undefiled religion,before God is this..keep yourself unstained by the world and visit orphans and widows..they could use a helping hand....Take my yolk upon you,for my yolk is easy and my burden, light. It is not complicated,and it is free to all, who will..to come to Him in faith believing.

Answer 2

Yes your story is sweet and very pretty, but many people are not called to this, you must be called out from society by God to be able to understand and believe in another world called Heaven; If God does not call, then they will not answer; Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
The words of the Bible are the seeds of God, that God plants into the world, the ground the words are planted into are the hearts of men. The Bible teaches you think with your heart not your head, science says different but nobody has exact proof because if the heart stops the body dies. But if the head stops the body does not die.
Now mankind through science and learning expect to find God but it will never happen, and we also are trying to make live on other planets to escape judgment of God. You must remember The words of the Bible do the work not you. You talk about the Bible and seeds are planted into men's hearts; Proverbs 15:11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
2 Corinthians 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
Maybe you should consider Lucifer who lived in the presence of God, he knows his ways and his goodness but willing chooses another path; these are the examples of seeds that never grew for their many reasons;Luke 8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. 15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Not all people hear and understand the word, and these people are not called, but of the ones that do receive and understand not all of them are chosen, many fall away for many reasons, but in the End Angels will come and destroy this world, but if you look around you will see and understand it is man destroying this world not angels;

God's purpose cannot be changed and he saved all that would be saved before the world started, we are just playing out our parts as Jesus Christ did when he was here; Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (refering to Anti-Christ or 666 man), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Answer 3

I think God is much less concerned with typos than hard hearts. He chose the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. In mankind's finite mind, simple sometimes is translated as ignorant or of no value,when nothing is further from the Truth. I will ask when I get to Heaven, but I fear that the inability to perceive beauty in the simplest of truth and beauty is one of man's greatest shortcomings. Even the leaders of other peaceful religions teach appreciation of the most simple and humble of gifts.

Answer 4

Believing is more than something you think in your heart(mind)! True belief means you will do what God tell you to do in His Word the bible! Simply believing without repentance is contrary to what the bible teaches.
Jude warned of this teaching when He said they turn the grace of God into lasciviousness etc... verse 4. Lasciviousness: license to sin.
Jesus died to save us from our sins, not in our sins! That takes a change of life. That what the bible teaches, & if we don't believe that then we don't believe the Lord. Then our simple believing turns into unbelief.

Answer 5

In your case, you are inspired by THE HOLY SPIRIT and thus, you are a chosen one among natural men/ women. And I say it because I am a prophet and one of my spiritual missions is to identify the chosen ones among natural men/women having the grace from THE LORD GOD. But others, the natural men/women they are not called on earth to understand yet because their understanding of the mysteries of the kingdom will be given to them still in the soon coming kingdom of heaven ruled by THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. These chosen ones among natural men/ women are called disciples of the Prophets and the Saints. That is why in some Christian practices they are devotees to various Saints including Virgin Mary or to Prophets like Mohammad, a prophet to the Islam, Buddha a prophet to the enlightened peoples, Joseph Smith to the latter day saints, Zoroaster to his peoples, etc. The Prophets and the Saints each have a book and list the names of their discples there called THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE. Remember, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST said to HIS disciples You did not chose ME, I chosed you. And also HE said make disciples of all nations ....The spirit of the chosen ones among natural men/women were created from the gold dust and silver dust of the earth (higher in the hierarchy of truth) and thus, are heavenbound oriented while the spirits of the natural men/women were created from the ordinary dust of the earth-thus the disparity of faith and belief as they are earthbound and earthly oriented. Moreover, the 100 million 1stborn divine spirits who were born in heaven before time began are incarnated on earth as the Prophets and Saints They are with men throughout the entire human history to preach the Kingdom. They are just ordinary men and as sinners as anyone else like King David or even Elijah within the sphere of the rulership of satan on this earth. But they are enrobed of the righteousness of THE LORD GOD-THE LORD JESUS CHRIST who is the final judge to judge anyone if he is righteous or not. An example in the modern times of a Saint is Mother Theresa of India. Of course, there are numerous false Prophets and false saints. But knowing the true ones are identifiable; 1st, as they know the 2nd coming of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST because they are part of the resurrection of the righteous in the year 3500 which will be the 1st resurrection ; and 2ndly, they understand the Book of Revelation because the key to understand it, is only given to the servants of GOD-the Prophets and the Saints. And 3rdly, the Prophets and the Saints are given continuous revelations from THE HOLY SPIRIT through dreams and visions; and 4thly, the Prophets and the Saints keep a book of remembrance to list the names of their disciples as the chosen ones among natural men and first to be offered to THE LORD GOD and the 1st to be adopted to the family of the 1stborn in heaven. 5th, they preach the goodnews of the kingdom (kingdom of heaven and Kingdom of GOD); 6th, and the chosen Kings over the kingdom like the suffering servant LORD JESUS CHRIST are the real suffering poor, the blind, the maimed and the lame. and the 7th, they do not love mammon- the money or mammoth- the political gov't but are in the category of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST saying Give what is due to GOD and what is due to Ceasar. Thus, our requirements for this life are the likes of financially ablehood, transport, food, housing are to them basics and not more than that. THANK GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

Answer 6

I already have!! It is so easy especially after you see things that make it undeniable. Yet I wonder why are there so many who don't believe?

Answer 7

Give English a try will you? It's really simple - if you can speak it, you can write it.

The word is lose, not loose. Why can't people spell anymore? Do they just not care?

Keep your god-love to yourself. We don't want any.
