Hi Mr. Snacks
I agree with you, God's life giving truths are simple (in my opinion) and here's why?
John 17:3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Ah, but many will ask: "How can I ever know God? I am poor, I cannot afford books or tuition ."
But as you said, knowing and learning of God and his Divinity is not difficult, and no books or tuition is required.
Rom 1:20
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Rom 1:21
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Rom 1:22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, DO you see the significance in this Scripture. All that needs to known about God, including his eternal Godhead, can be learned from creation from the things HE made, and man is without excuse. But they learned of God, but rejected God; preferring to instead to fall victims to their own imaginations and became fools.
As a side note to this:
Pro 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.This is in itself, another very simple truth. If one cannot trust God based all that one has learned from creation, then surely one has become a fool.
But here a two remaining truths that encapsulates how we are to live, love and grow.
Mat 22:37-39
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38-This is the first and great commandment. 39-And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Honestly, these are very simple instructions. Perhaps not easy to achieve, but a doctorate is not required to understand them.
Great discussion and very positive.
Your brother in Christ,
Darren
