Why is God’s plan of salvation so complicated?

 

Why is God’s plan of salvation so complicated?
Serious Bible students soon realize that the work of studying and understanding the Bible is never ending!  There is so much to learn.  A study of Hebrews brought me to Melchizedek.  One paragraph in Genesis 14 tells us the entire Bible story of Melchizedek.  He is a priest of God to whom Abram gave a tithe.  Besides a quote in Psalms 110:4, he is not mentioned again until Hebrews (5-7) where we find three chapters discussing the priesthood of Jesus Christ as established and illustrated in Melchizedek.
God’s plan of salvation is detailed, complicated, exhaustive, intricate, expansive and altogether harmonious!  Maybe this is  because God’s plan expresses the nature and character of God himself!
This is not unlike the creation, another expression of God.  Our physical universe and world is detailed, complicated, exhaustive, intricate, expansive and altogether harmonious.  From the smallest cell to the largest star, all things find their place and purpose in God’s creation, working together in perfect harmony.
All of God’s creation has been put in place for the benefit of humanity, not unlike God’s wonderful plan of salvation.
