Because GOD commanded HIS LOVE toward us....

by the great sacrifice of CHRIST JESUS.....

How can anyone doubt that GOD is JUST .

Life is in the BLOOD....so red as it freely flows....

'n yet while sinners; on a Cross our SAVIOUR groaned,

'n because of HIS OBEDIENCE....we are made whole.

Once we were without real life; walking as dead...

but because HE LIVES, we will arise from death's bed.

So separated man became; because of sin......

yet, because of GOD'S GREAT LOVE; a REDEEMER was sent,

'n by the WORD, we become cleansed.

As water erases all appearance of outer filth....

inwardly....repentance cleanses , 'n heals !

Works never save....but just one word, Obey....

'n who of us can resist the SPIRIT'S DRAWING STRENGTH,

that woos a heart into seeking GOD'S WAY ?

As we travel down the Narrow Path....

must be ever mindful of the deceitful flesh,

because detours halt the SPIRIT'S transforming process!

LIGHT moves away the darkness....so black,

into a relationship with the FATHER....we once lacked.

At the CROSS was saved; by the giving of ONE LIFE.....

'n even that was provided by the FATHER on high....

in order that we could obtain eternal life !

HE GAVE HIS ALL....for the human race....

'n upon HIMSELF.....ALL of our Disgrace.

Does our hearts grieve, when we do wrong...

'n does it cause us to daily kneel before HIS THRONE ?

Do we truly realize, 'n humbly stand in awe

of THE ONE...WHO GAVE HIS ALL ?
