Tell Me
There is a gift, a beautiful gift
Not made with human hands
Freely given
to those who believe.
This gift comes from God above.
Maker of heaven and earth.
What is this special gift, you may ask?
God has given us the gift of His Son.
Jesus Christ, God in the flesh.
Jesus came to us to save us from our sins.
Even faith is a gift from God, not from ourselves.
Some people think they are not sinners.
"I'm a good person. I don't break the laws."
"I give to the needy. I'm fine the way I am."
Yet, this is the great lie from the enemy, satan.
When we think this way, why would we need God?
The world is filled with evil. Man is in rebellion
Against God. God knew this. He had a plan.
The Savior, Jesus, died for sinners so we can
become right with God and receive eternal life.
Only those who repent of their sins and believe
can be saved from sin and eternal death.
This is the narrow way. There is only one Truth.
Jesus said, " He who hates Me, hates my Father also." (John 15:23)
Strong words. Dividing words. True words.
To understand what Christians believe
follow The Five Solas penned by Martin Luther:
We believe...
by Scripture Alone
by Faith Alone
by Grace Alone
through Christ Alone
to the Glory of God Alone.
Then ask God to reveal His Truth to you.
Only in Jesus Christ can we find
true love, forgiveness and eternal life.
