SALVATION SO SIMPLE A CAVEMAN CAN UNDERSTAND

     Our Father, Creator, life giving Author does not make things so difficult to understand.  Friends in His Spirit He used the Apostle John's hand to pen what He speaks from Genesis to Revelation, the theme and the message is the same throughout.  JESUS!  Our finite human minds can't even began to understand the depths of His love and grace apart from He the Word.  This is the same Word that was there from the beginning, which logically means He was here before the beginning.  Muse on that friends.  From before the beginning of time, which exists for man's finite mind Christ the Word already had us on His heart, on his mind!  Wow, in the grand scheme of this ever expanding universe, He considered us. 

     Let us hear Him speak through John as He digs deeper into what he says in Genesis.  John 1:1-14  

King James Version (KJV)

"1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

² The same was in the beginning with God.
³ All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
⁴ In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
⁵ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
⁶ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
⁷ The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
⁸ He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
⁹ That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
¹⁰ He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
¹¹ He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
¹² But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
¹³ Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

¹⁴ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."  From before the beginning the Godhead was full of GRACE and TRUTH.  His offer for salvation was already in Hand before Adam was created and we were born.  Note verse 12 He had already extended a way to be in Him, and be restored as sons and daughters of the Most High God.  Let us parallel that with Genesis 1: 1-4

"1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

² And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
³ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness."

God established the principle of separation of life and light from the dark and death, Jesus incarnated this as the Word in flesh, making salvation possible, and so easy to understand.  A man who goes to hell chooses to ignore the Word, climb over the cross of Calvary, run from every presentation of the Word, sear his own heart, turn radio stations, and reject even bumper stickers on cars, and acts of kindness to enter eternal darkness and hell.
