Thank you for this article. I fear this is me. I accepted the Gospel simply when I was a child, but through the years have thought it must be more complicated and have made myself so confused and frustrated trying to figure out “true saving faith” and have despaired of finding answers. I know I have complicated the Gospel in my own mind. Is this something I can repent of? And how do I get back to the simple belief after years of complicating it. I feel a little overwhelmed. Thank you.
Hi Kinsey, thanks for the comment. "Complicating the gospel" is something that, I think, we all fall into constantly. The Christian life is one of ebbs and flows, between relying on our own strength and resting in God's work in us and through us and for us. Just know that it really is that simple. "It is finished." Christ was made sin for you (2 Cor. 5:21). You are righteous in him if you only repent and believe. May you find tremendous assurance in the blood of Christ shed for you, my friend. Blessings 🙏
