About This Quote

This quote is a valuable reminder of the power of simplicity. Many people are so busy trying to figure out how things work or what was said that they miss the whole point of it. When it comes to the Christian faith, the simple way is often more powerful than the complex explanation. God leads by being clear about what he wants you to do.

When people are unclear about an issue, they often look to more complex explanations. When you are unclear about something, that’s okay—God will figure it out for you. As an example, people naturally assume that the Bible is too complicated to understand.

It’s not. The Bible is full of “simple truths”—such as original sin and salvation through Jesus Christ—that may be difficult for people to grasp but are nonetheless crucial to understanding what God wants us to do.
