It's so simple we confuse ourselves making it complex.
I have made similar statements myself. Only theologians and the religious make it complicated. I encourage new Christians to read Ephesians multiple times before turning to other books in the Bible. You must KNOW who and where you are IN CHRIST, and when and why Christ chose you, and His purpose for doing this. Armed with this revelation knowledge, you will not be sidetracked, or misled by religion, which has no place in the Body of Christ of this present age of Grace.
Thanks for the ping!
Yes the message is quite clear and simple. However, here on earth we are not promised a 'rose garden.' The narrow path requires us to wear our armor daily.
