A Life-Giving Death

When Jesus Christ came to us, He lived and died,
but only a few close to Him knew He was alive!

God loved us enough to give all He had,
even though He knew our lives would be bad.

Jesus, our Savior, took our place on the cross,
completing our propitiation at a deadly cost.

The loss of our lives had us on death row,
serving a deceiving master we did not know.

Revealing to us that we were dead in our sins,
God opened the way for us to come to Him.

Asking for forgiveness from a Merciful, Holy God,
who could see through anyone’s phony facade.

He knew everything about us before we did
and how we were each drowning in our sins.

Over two thousand years ago Jesus died for me,
as He was stretched out on a cross for all to see.

If someone were to walk up to you and say,
“Do you know if you are walking in His ways?”

Repenting from the death trap of our sins
will always bring a change from within.

Whether or not you will repent my friend,
He will pursue you until your life ends.

The life you are living in the here and now
will only continue to bring more sin and doubt.

God initiates every breath you have taken.
He also sees where and when you were mistaken.

It doesn’t matter where you are in this life,
Jesus wants to free you from your strife.

To this day, He still walks with His believers,
as they are turning away from the deceiver.

Have you left your faith and strayed away?
Won’t you give your heart to Him today?

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
