Profound truths are often expressed by God in terms which are so simple that one has to have help to misunderstand them. The Lord Jesus spoke so clearly that even the “common” men heard His message and became followers of Him (Mark 12:37).

It may seem strange to you, but do you know that a blessing from God could lead to our destruction? Yet, this truth is taught repeatedly throughout the Bible.

What a great contrast this is with the Son of God who gave us the Bible and promised…
