In God’s brilliance, His solution for salvation is indeed easy. Nothing could be easier. Simply exercise faith alone in Him alone, in all things, and we continue to walk through faith in Him.
It only becomes difficult when we make it difficult, by trying to do His work for Him, instead of allowing His Providence to guide us along His Plan. Our scarred soul keeps confusing the knowledge of good and evil ever since the fall in the Garden with His Plan.
His Plan naturally allows us to perform divine good works through faith in Him, while we are in fellowship with Him, but whenever we perform good works on our own independent of faith in Him, no matter how good the work may seem, it still amounts as a counterfeit substitute for our life through faith in Christ, resulting in good for nothingness, never to receive any future reward by His Standards.
Adversity is inevitable. Stress is optional through faith in Christ.
