Salvation: easy or hard?
 
Is it easy to be (and stay) saved? Or is it difficult? It seems to be harder for some than for others. Why do you suppose that is?

Its very easy for both, Christ did all the work. It is men in the name of religion that has made it hard. There have been many unnecessary obstacles placed between the sinner and the cross.

I had to do nothing but be born to become a sinner. Adam did all the work. But according to religion I have to do this and that and jump through all kinds of hoops to be saved. Not so, the second Adam(Jesus) did the work.

Salvation and faith are both gifts. There's nothing we can do on our own to receive either yet many are always trying to take it away from themselves. Sometimes we just need to forgive ourselves and move fwd. Paul said he didn't even judge himself, why do we?
