SO SIMPLE…YET NOT?

–

“Ye must be born again,”

Is that really difficult when…

Christ says like a child you must be

To believe and join the free,

Repent and it happens then!

–

Of what do we repent,

Of sin, for we resent…

God’s holiness

While we’re a mess,

From birth til we pay grave rent.

–

Sin isn’t just what you do

But you’re riddled with iot all through…

A federal head–

Adam, became dead

And his disobedience hits you!

–

“All have fallen short,”

But God, being good sport…

Had a plan

To redeem man

Without holiness cut short.

–

Christ–God’s one Son,

Got a body to become…

Representative, yes!

For us by holiness,

Fulfilling the Law on His own.

–

Then He submitted to death,

To pay the penalty for sin’s whole breadth…

Of possibility

By faith in Him we’re free

Of the curse Adam’s disobedience left.(us).

–

God sealed His promise for inspection

By making Jesus Christ’s resurrection…

Christ was the first fruits

Of new life from the roots,

Provided us a time–eternal intersection!

–

Faith of a child will be

Willing to totally…

Accept the Lord

Believe in His word

And do what He says naturally.

–

Following Christ is adventure

Whether you have new teeth or a denture…

God’s Holy Spirit gave

To the one saved

A special kind of indenture.

–

For sure, you were bought with a price

Through obedience of Christ…

Who, being God,

Submitted to flawed

Humanity, so the faithful could reach Paradise.

–

It’s best believing young,

Believing the works of the Son…

Who came as Christ

To pay sin’s price—

Accept what He has done!

–

Growing in grace takes time,

The adventure is yours and mine…

All of the hard work’s done

We walk where Christ would run,

The Bible shows God’s love divine!
