The Faith of Jesus

When Satan uttered through the snake Eve’s faith in God he sought to shake. His questions circled in a route that he sure hoped would create doubt. His wooing words worked like a charm they did not in Eve stir alarm. God’s firm command she disobeyed And then Adam’s pure mind, she swayed. When Jesus came in Adam’s place to rescue our fallen race. The Devil tried his faith to shake and to His Father’s will forsake. Jesus prevailed where Adam failed His faith held when sorely assailed. When in Gethsemane He prayed His faith prevailed, in God’s will He stayed. And as He died upon the cross His faith was pure and without dross. Beyond the tomb, He could not see In His victory, faith was the key. The ones who would with Jesus stand when persecution’s flames are fanned would be those who His faith retains and faithful to His law remains. The faith of Jesus is so strong It helped Him withstand Satan’s throng. His faith is bestowed as a gift to help saints stand and never drift.
