Our Heavenly Father has tried to make this life as easy as possible for us and to believe in Christ the most natural and automatic thing and way that we can live and believe! He has all but given our faith to us and all that is left for us to do is believe on Him and exercise the smallest particle of faith--then the blessings come like a snowball effect as we continue to make choices from that seed that we've planted...

Remember what Alma to his sons, in the Book of Mormon? In Alma 37:44-47:
"For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land.  And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.  O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way; for so was it with our fathers; for so was it prepared for them, that if they would look they might live; even so it is with us. The way is prepared, and if we will look we may live forever."

Then, again in Alma 38:4 "For I know that thou wast in bonds; yea, and I also know that thou wast stoned for the word’s sake; and thou didst bear all these things with patience because the Lord was with thee; and now thou knows that the Lord did deliver thee."

And later in Alma 39:16-18 "And now, my son, this was the ministry unto which ye were called, to declare these glad tidings unto this people, to prepare their minds; or rather that salvation might come unto them, that they may prepare the minds of their children to hear the word at the time of his coming.  And now I will ease your mind somewhat on this subject. Behold, you marvel why these things should be known so long beforehand. Behold, I say unto you, is not a soul at this time as precious unto God as a soul will be at the time of his coming?  Is it not as necessary that the plan of redemption should be made known unto this people as well as unto their children?"

The words of Christ are plain and simple, as is His Gospel, plain and simple.
