The Plain Word of God

“Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another” (I John 4:11)

Many years ago I had the privilege of frequently hearing Brother Herbert Ashby, a pastor and revival preacher. He preached the Bible as it was to men as they were. He had a unique phrase that he used often after explaining a doctrine such as the second coming of Jesus. He would finish his point and then say, “How plain the Word of God is.”

I want to borrow that phrase from Brother Ashby and use it with our text for today: “How plain the Word of God is.” This verse is so clear, simple and plain even small children can understand it. Read our text again and see if you agree with Brother Ashby.
