Penalty - Power - Presence

Penalty, Power, Presence

Reading God’ Word, revealed to me
I was under The PENALTY of sin
But how to atone for this injustice
I didn’t know where to begin

By accepting Christ, I was forgiven
Of sins PENALTY from the past
Atonement was made in my behalf
All my sins, on Him were cast

As I began to walk with Him
I found my way to be inferior
Faults and failures bombarded me
Only His way, was superior

Romans six, fourteen declares
There is POWER to overcome
Sins of the flesh, that still prevail
Until our earthly race is done

There will come a time when I will go
To be forever by His side
There, throughout eternity
This PRESENCE, will forever abide

PENALTY, POWER and PRESENCE
The three phases of God’s plan
Salvation from sins of all mankind
Ever since eternity began

This is a beautifully structured and deeply reflective poem. I love how you organized the piece around the powerful triad of Penalty, Power, and Presence to clearly map out the spiritual journey of salvation. Your steady rhyme scheme and rhythmic pacing give the verses a comforting, hymn-like quality that perfectly matches the reverent and peaceful tone of your message. It is a wonderful, sincere expression of faith and grace. Thank you for sharing!
