There was an old Tom and Jerry episode where Tom had to get Jerry to sign a certificate of forgiveness for Tom to go to heaven, otherwise he would go to hell. Tom only had to get one mouse to sign that paper, but, God makes it even easier for us. We don’t have to get a piece of paper and have one of our friends sign it saying that they forgive us of all our sins. All we have to do is confess that Jesus is Lord and Savior, ask God to forgive us and save us, and believe in our hearts that God raised Christ from the dead. It is that simple, and we don’t have to wonder if God will decide to forgive us, we can know. We know that, “for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13. Man cannot make salvation easier than what God has already provided for. God also provides something better than a certificate of salvation, God sends the Holy Spirit to be with us, to dwell in us. The Holy Spirit is the “…deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession – to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:14. God makes it easy for us to be saved, and God provides assurance of salvation, what more could we ask for? God Bless!
