Understand Fully That You Can Boast Of Us

Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace. For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.

2 Corinthians 1:12-14

Sometimes when sharing the gospel, we make it more complicated than it needs to be. We can be glad that the Bible presents the good news of salvation in clear, easily understood language.

We are told in simple terms that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. We are told that no one comes to the Father unless they come through Jesus.

The apostle Paul followed simple language as well, telling a jailer to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and he would be saved.

God’s precious love story is simple. He sent His Son to rescue us from sin and death. Wonderful news that even children can understand.

Through faith in Christ, we receive God’s pardon and escape sin’s penalty.
