Simple - How can that Be True?

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
 
OK, the Bible says that so it must be true, right?  Well, it is or we have to change our understanding of the Bible as the word of God.  Since I believe the Bible is the revealed word of God, I’m going to look for reasons to believe it.  One reason many people never realize the simplicity that is in Christ is because they’ve never really investigated what God has done through Christ to make it so.   The Apostle Paul wrote about the preparatory work God did to make Justification by faith possible without compromising His character or integrity.  He was able to remain Just and Righteous while still achieving His stated objective in Romans 3:21-26.
​
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, …..26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:21 & 26
 
What has been reveal is that Jesus Christ is our redeemer.  Romans 3:24-25 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed.
 
Propitiation is a legal term meaning Satisfaction.  Jesus Christ has satisfied the Father’s need for Justice by paying for us our debt for sin.  If God’s absolute sense of justice has been satisfied then there is nothing left of our debt for sins committed.  The debt to God has been paid.  That leaves God free to justify any who meets His terms for Justification.  Those are spelled out in several Scriptures, the most famous being John 3:16.  The only thing God requires is that we believe in Jesus Christ for everlasting life.  He is the giver of everlasting life and will give to everyone who believes He for it.    
Next let’s look at reconciliation.
