From Sin's Bondage to Salvation's Grace

Image
 In freedom's light, with Christ we find our way, But first, in sin's dark chains, we must obey. Our sins, they sting, like shackles on our hand, The law's stern whip, on our backs, does land. The law, a taskmaster, drives us to Christ's grace, True freedom blooms when we seek His embrace. Before we're free from sin's relentless snare, Like Israel in Egypt, we must groan in prayer. We toil in life's struggles, like bricks and pots, Before we rise like doves with silvery spots. Through muck and mire, we tread the tough terrain, To reach the heights of freedom from sin's chain. In the miry pit, we cry for a helping hand, God's mercy lifts us from the sinking sand. Like Jonah, in darkness, we're wrapped in despair, Before we find deliverance from sin's snare. To the mountain's base, we descend in fright, With weeds on our heads, we face the endless night. Earth's bars seem unbreakable, our fears so vast, Yet, God's hand leads us to f

From Bondage to Liberty

 In liberty's embrace, Christ's grace we savor, But first, sin's chains, a heavy burden we labor. Our wrists, by iniquity's fetters, must smart, As the law's lash leaves on our backs its mark. Bound by the taskmaster, the law's stern decree, It drives us toward Jesus, our only decree. True freedom's birthed from bondage's hold, As Israel cried to God in tales of old. Brick-kilns and pots, our weary toil's keep, Before we soar like doves from bondage's deep. Through mire and darkness, we must tread, To know the heights from which we've fled. In the pit's abyss, we cry, no foothold to find, Yet, in God's mercy, our souls are refined. Jonah's depths, we must descend with dread, Before we're delivered from sin's dark thread. To the mountain's base, we sink in despair, Weeds wrap our heads, as we wrestle with care. Earth's bars seem eternal, our fears grow vast, Till God's hand frees us from sins of the past. From E

The True Measure of Faith

In the world of faith, where Christians dwell, We often stumble when we try to tell, How one believer's journey unfolds within, It's not by comparing that we truly win. Each Christian's path is a unique one, No two stories are ever fully done, To judge our faith, we must make a switch, And look to the Bible, our measuring pitch. In God's own words, we find the way, To understand how we should live each day, The Bible's teachings, the truth they unfold, To guide our hearts and make us bold. Don't let others' fervor lead you astray, Or their stories dictate your faith today, Instead, seek God's Word, His truth so pure, In its timeless wisdom, you'll find the cure. What sinners should feel, the Bible does explain, In Christ's commands, there's no need to strain, So let's turn to Scripture, with hearts open wide, In its eternal wisdom, let us confide. The Bible shows the measure of our faith, In its verses, God's love and grace await, By

The Gift of Salvation: Faith in Christ and God's Universal Revelation.

Introduction: Faith is a cornerstone of Christian theology, and central to this faith is the belief in salvation through Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that comes through faith in Jesus alone. Additionally, the Bible reveals that God's presence and revelation are accessible to all, regardless of their physical or mental circumstances. In this article, we will explore these concepts and the relevant Bible verses that underpin them. Salvation Through Faith in Christ Alone: According to Christian doctrine, the simple answer to the question of how one attains salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. John 3:16 declares, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse encapsulates the essence of Christian salvation. It emphasizes that God's love for humanity led Him to send His Son, Jesus, and that belief in Jesus leads to eternal life. Ephes
