T. 31. I. 1 – 4. Jesus: “How simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true now, and never will be. The impossible has not occurred, and can have no effects. And that is all!
There is of course a reason! But confuse it not with ‘difficulty’ in the simple things salvation asks you learn. It teaches but the very obvious. It merely goes from one apparent lesson to the next, in easy steps that lead you gently from one to another, and with no strain at all. This cannot be confusing, yet you seem to be confused! For somehow you believe that what is totally confused is easier to learn and understand. What you have taught yourself has been such a giant learning feat that it is, indeed, incredible! But you have accomplished it simply because you wanted to, and did not pause in your persistence to judge it ‘hard to learn’ or too complex to grasp.
No one who understands what you have learned, how carefully you learned it, and the pains to which you went to practice and repeat the lessons endlessly, in every form you could conceive of them, could ever doubt the power of your learning skill!
