Simplicity vs. Subtlety

Read:  Psalm 93 / Proverbs 07 / Jeremiah 37 / 2 Cor. 11 

 

Psalm 93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, forever.

Proverbs 7:24-25 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

Jeremiah 37:19 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

 

The Word of God is very sure,

A light in darkness on our path. 

In Christ we find God’s holy cure

For all who would escape from wrath. 

 

The Gospel has simplicity

For every sinner who repents.

Beware of Satan’s subtlety

That undermines this confidence.
