From Genesis to Revelation, God has always been clear: He wants all men to be saved (1 Timothy 2:3–4). Yet throughout history—whether Israel under the Law or the Church under Grace—man has always complicated what God made simple.

Today, in the Dispensation of Grace, salvation is not by works, rituals, religion, repentance acts, or reforming life—it is faith alone in Christ alone, believing the finished work (1 Corinthians 15:1–4).

But religion hates simplicity.
Man enjoys adding, adjusting, and altering God’s plan.

This message shows how God kept salvation simple, and how man continues to complicate it.

God made salvation:

Simple to understand,

Simple to receive,

Simple to trust.

Man made salvation:

Complicated,

Confusing,

Contradicting.

The question is not, “Is salvation complicated?”
The question is, “Who are you listening to—God or man?”

BELIEVE the gospel of Christ alone (1 Cor. 15:1–4).
RIGHTLY DIVIDE the Scriptures (2 Tim. 2:15).
REJECT any gospel that adds works, water, or willpower.
REST in the finished work of Christ alone.

𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒

God simplifies; man complicates.
Grace frees; religion enslaves.
Christ finished the work; we simply believe it.
