    Is it more tempting to add to the gospel or oversimplify it?

    I think that it is tempting to add to the gospel because we feel the need to prove our worth. To ourselves, others and God. I think it’s a hard concept for humans to grasp that acceptance of Jesus sacrifice will cause the law to be naturally followed. We live according to our values. It’s hard to fake values for very long. If you live and serve the Lord, you will know that lying, cheating, stealing, and all the rest are wrong. You won’t have to be told. You won’t have to be surveilled. Yes you’ll struggle and fail. But your values and intent are what they are.
