The Simple Truth
By Steve Klein
Most truth is pretty simple. What confuses us are the efforts of men to either over-simplify or over-complicate the truth. As Einstein famously said, we should strive to "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler!"
Jesus' statement regarding salvation in Mark 16:16 is about as simple as it gets. He said, "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." That is about as complicated as 2 + 2 = 4. Yet, when it comes to the matter of who is saved and who is lost, men continue to come up with a different answer than the one Jesus gave.
Paul's concern for the Corinthians was that "somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3). The problem was that the Corinthians were accepting preachers who preached "another Jesus . . . a different spirit . . . or a different gospel" (2 Corinthians 11:4). Anytime we believe what men say instead of the simple and plain statements of God's word, we're going to wind up with the wrong answer.
If you think that you were saved by belief alone, and then baptized later, may I ask as Paul asked the Galatians, "Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth?" (Galatians 3:1)
