The infinite power and scope of repentance ensures that.<br /><br />Salvation is 'easy' (but of course, most people actively reject it, nonetheless) - what is difficult is theosis, sanctification or becoming saintly, or moving towards greater divinity.

Unfortunately, too much 'trying' to 'make it make sense' or 'trying' to 'be a Christian' only leads one further from The Truth' or in despair. The other option is just not to really care either way and settle with, 'what I believe about God and Jesus is good enough for me-ism'. In Him, it all makes Perfect Sense.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980724753973410660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2410716623228444076.post-42213877181088511262012-03-12T07:28:49.536+00:002012-03-12T07:28:49.536+00:00Yes.

These really are difficult matters, yet unavoidable for the Christian. Any attempt to do away with the difficulty, to clarify and simplify, and what remains is not Christianity.Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.com
