It ‘is’ simple. It’s people that make it complicated. Apostle John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved”, said that “the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus.” It’s clear that Jesus had a very special and close relationship with Apostle John; Jesus even entrusted His mother’s care to John after His death. Grace comes through Jesus, and it’s only through Him that we can be saved. I believe that Jesus died for my sin and rose from the dead. But I don’t believe it because the Bible says so. I believe it because Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James (the brother of Jesus), and Paul said so. And I have subjective evidence for my beliefs; I have no doubts whatsoever. If some others accept it, great. If some others reject it, fine.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
