Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

God's Righteousness At Christ's Expense

The grace of God has no measure
it's inexhaustible being eternally divine
has no beginning just like God himself
heavenly sent for sinners to say it's mine

Its meaning originates in God's righteousness
evidence so marked by the life of God's son
displaying such purity and singular holiness
this godly life showed God's will being done

Jesus God's son paid the ultimate price
taking on our sin at Calvary to atone
redeeming our souls from the law's curse
this free grace came only for his own

So grace is really such amazing mercy
the Lord's righteousness imputed upon the justified
this came at Christ's expense fully paid
Jesus did it all so His father be glorified

Kim Rodrigues May 22, 2019 at 12:26 PM Nicely said! Many believe you have to earn your way but God knew we could never pay our own debt. By his goodness, his innate character, he suffered our wrong, redeemed us, wrapped us in His righteousness. God is good and faithful, always keeping his promises, one of which was Jesus. Blessings! Laura Leiser May 24, 2019 at 3:34 PM Amen, Kim! :) Gordon Mcconnell May 22, 2019 at 1:10 PM Thanks again Kim, all you say is so true and glad you liked my piece. Blessings be yours, Gordon

Jennifer Proxenos May 22, 2019 at 10:59 AM God is omnipotent and his love is everywhere - we just have to grab it with both hands and understand that it was predicted in the Bible that the Messiah would come, not only did he come, but he died for our salvation and for God His Father to be glorified. Really a wonderful poem Gordon. Hugs, Jennifer Hugs, Jennifer. Gordon Mcconnell May 22, 2019 at 12:11 PM Thanks Jenny, glad you loved it and trust things are well in SA. Blessings and hugs,Gordon
