How is being born again simple?

 

Creating the Universe was Simple.....I think the Bible said that God did it with his little finger......Salvation was tough work.....thank God, Jesus did it all.....Salvation cost God His Son.....It Cost His Son His Life.....The Angels try to understand Salvation, But is something they do not fully understand.....

Salvation was not easy for God, but He sure made it easy for anybody that will simply “ come to Him”.....God made it simple to the point that nobody will have an excuse for not being Saved.... “ Anybody that ASKS to be saved,WILL be Saved”......how could God make it any Simpler? He did it all, he paid it all and all,we have to say is say “ Jesus, save me”...... then Trust HIM to do it.....how could God make it any easier ?

Dear sister, ...Salvation "is" simple, ...so simple that a child can understand it...

It's the preparation of our cold, stony and hard heart that takes the time before we can "receive" it.

 

I we were to look at our lives as a horizontal time line, starting at our birth and continuing on to this very moment,

...with another horizontal time line "above" it that stretches so far back behind ours and so far ahead of ours that we can't see the ends in either direction, ...the one above our is God's timeline from eternity past to Eternity future.

When we look at God's time line we see times, "events," from our own time line superposed over it, ...those "times" are when God "intervened" in our lives to help us, provide for us, heal us and even preventing us from dying.

When we look back over our time line we can "see" those "events" in our lives.

 

Jesus said, "No one can come to me unless the Father draws them," John 6:44

Progressively, as we live our lives, ...we begin to understand those times "between" God intervening in our lives were the times the Father was using in our lives to break our pride and soften our hearts, ..."preparing" the soil like Jesus said in His parable.

Finally, when God has determined it's "our" time to be "born" spiritually, ...the blindness in our minds 2 Cor 4:4 is removed and we can see for the first time in our lives the Light of the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and we "decide" to "receive" the Salvation Jesus provided for us, ...and then our timeline go up and joins with/into God's timeline for our lives.

Lord bless and keep you

Dear sister, please correct me if I'm wrong, ...but you came to Worthy with your testimony of "hearing" the Holy Spirit calling you to Jesus and you "believed" in your heart and "received" Salvation.

How is that "not" simple?

Please, this is "not" said in a derogatory manor, ...but with the love of Christ from a brother, ...who "bewitched" you Gal 3:1, into thinking differently?

Lord bless

Then we will have to agree to disagree brother.

For me salvation was "not simple"....

I noticed Flowersun a few weeks back, you said you have not witnessed someone actually being saved,
being born as a child of God, and then someone replied you at least had witnessed your own birth.
Most every (real) born again parent has witnessed the event of their children being saved, and probably led them to.
Most children have not lost their simple trust in parents/people, as adults often do for many reasons.

 Jesus says, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless 'you change' and become as little children,
you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”         Matthew 18:3

All it took for my children to believe were a few truths, said simply, in paraphrased (childlike) language. 
As our children trusted  my wife and I, they believed easily and simply.
And they were not distracted by opposing great angry theological debaters,
or a government school messing their heads up about evolution. We taught them at home.
It is simple to BE saved.  It is the overcoming the darkness of the lies filling the mind of adults that's difficult.
Darkness is the absence if light.
God is light...

It's simple because it's through our faith in Christ that we are saved.   Being born again is not about how much we do or know.

³⁰ And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

³¹ So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”   Acts 16:30-31.
