Road Signs
I remember driving in California for the first time when I was a young Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton. There were six lanes of traffic, bumper to bumper, and everyone was in a hurry. If I didn't know where I was going, I would miss my exit or end up on a different road all together. It was confusing and frustrating for this country boy. I thought "How in the world can anyone understand this"? As I think about my eternal destination, I realize some people try to make that journey just as confusing as it was driving in California for the first time. People everywhere with signs, "go here", "turn there", "do this", "don't do that". Before long I felt like I had missed my exit. Then I realized God loves me. He wants me to reach my destination, Heaven. So I know He would not design a road so cluttered with conflicting directions that I couldn't understand how to get there. The Plan of Salvation is simple to understand. There is simplicity in Christ. That's great news for this retired Marine. the Book of Acts tells us exactly what we need to do. I'm not saying we will understand everything in the Bible. We learn everyday and grow closer to Him. I'm saying God's Plan of Salvation is easy and clear for all of us to understand. He would not create a road to Heaven that was just for city folks, anyone can easily find the way.
