According to the Global Language Monitor... as of January 1st of 2012, there were over 1 million words in the English language. In fact, a new word is created every 98 minutes! Out of all of those words, well over a hundred thousand are rarely used because they are technical and/or scientific.
Isn’t it amazing that when we read the Bible... the most important and life-changing part of it is perhaps the simplest? In Acts 16:31, Paul and Silas are in jail talking to their captor. During that conversation, the jailor asks “What must I do to be saved?”... and here was their simple...non-scientific...non-complicated answer... “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.” 10 words. No fluff. Nothing extra or tough to understand. We have a million word options when sharing our faith... but no need to complicate what’s meant to be easily understood. Trust Christ with your life... spend eternity with Him. Simple word choice... infinite impact.
