Revelation 22:17
This verse has always been a favorite, but I believe it may have just become my new "life verse!" Listen once again to the glory of this wondrous truth: "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." How hard can this be? Rose I believe this goes along with your previous post about Spurgeon's sermon concerning the simplicity of faith. No one has to teach even a tiny baby to drink water! Just let the little one be thirsty, & put the water to his mouth, & the deed is done! Thirst is quenched! I'm glad the Lord made His salvation that easy for dummies like me. No treatises necessary regarding the definition of faith, or believe. Even less, to "take." I like that: take the water of life freely! There's more I could say, but I'll leave it at that! I just had to post this to remind us of the glory of God's wonderful salvation & its utter simplicity! If you want it, take it! It's that simple. Shame on us for making something so charmingly simple into something so difficult & unclear.

David,
Who insists on "a treatise on the definition of faith" before exhorting the sinner to believe?

Colin, methinks they be talking about you and me; you know, the "Traditionalists".

Brothers Colin & Mark,
I must admit I never thought of anyone on this blog or any other actually when I said that! Actually, I was thinking of myself, in "invitations" I have given in the past when I mentioned making something so clear into something unclear.
Rose & Brian, thanks for the comments!

Your brother, Mark

Thanks for your kind words, bro. Mark.
Bro. Colin,
When I made that statement, I truly was not thinking of anyone in particular. It was just a statement highlighting the beautiful simplicity of the Gospel message. God Bless you all!

Therefore, David, as it stands, I agree. 100%.
