We have been signing so much paperwork between selling our rental house and setting up the 1031 exchange so we can defer our capital gains tax on that sale. Look it up if you don’t know what that is because it’s way too long and complicated to explain in a blog post! The fine print in the paperwork for all of this is mind blowing. Of course, we read every bit of it… nod, nod, wink, wink. My apologies to my children and grandchildren if we signed away their inheritance!
When I think about all of the large transactions that involve mountains of documents that require my signature or initials that bind me legally to whatever was delineated in all the legalese written in them, it really does scare me. If you are like me, you often just go so far and then skip to the signature line and sign it or, at best, ask the “trusted” person who handed you the document to summarize the document you are signing in human terms.
There is no fine print to read from God. Jesus makes it clear… the only way to God is through him!
John 14:6 (NLT) - Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”
