God’s Free Gift©
Why wouldn’t you take God’s free gift?
It makes no sense to me.
It’s the only way to eternal life from the rift
For you and me.
It starts with the words, “I do”
Just like in marriage.
Jesus is waiting for you
Do not disparage.
For your heart must be open
For Christ to come in and merge
With Him there’s a peace in copin’
As your sin He will purge.
For in His arms, you can remain
High up, He will lift
And help you from sin to abstain
No longer adrift.
For along with God’s free gift
Comes Holy Spirit power
His mighty strength will cause a shift
In Him to stand strong and not cower.
Humbly, if you do not accept
God’s free gift
Know this, the Lord has wept
As many go adrift.
Thank God YOU have accepted
Eternity through God’s free gift!
Now we know what can be expected
When we enter into His glory to lift
HIM higher, our King and our Lord, we are connected!
God’s Word for Today:
All scriptures are set in italics and quoted from various translations of the Holy Bible. Most verses are quoted from the New Living Translation.
“So that’s why faith is the key! God‘s promise is given to us as a free gift. And we are certain to receive it, whether or not we follow Jewish customs, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.”
Romans 4:16
And the result of God‘s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but we have the free gift of being accepted by God, even though we are guilty of many sins.
Romans 5:16
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
