By Grace Through Faith

By grace through faith,
We can know the lord and his everlasting life.
We accepted Jesus into our hearts,
By admitting that we are sinners.
Then we believe that he died on the cross.
And finally, confess that Jesus is Lord.
No money involved, no tips needed.
God paid the price by his son hanging on the cross.
By grace though faith is the only way,
To accept Jesus Christ into your heart.

But what does that mean?
By grace through faith.

By the grace of Jesus dieing on the cross.
He paid the price for us.
He filled the gap so we can go to heaven.
Jesus was the only one who could pay that price.
He was God in flesh.
The perfect one; crucified!
Knowing the grace of God is the first step.

Through our faith in God, we can go to heaven.
We must believe that this really did happen.
That the Bible is God breathed.
That Jesus is really the son of man.
That He died on the cross for our sins.
We must have faith and believe that God is God.

By grace through faith,
A little confusing in the beginning.
But after reading this poem,
I hope you understand how easy it is
To give your heart to Jesus.
To accept him as your personal savior.
For it’s by the grace of God that Jesus died for us.
And it is the faith we have in Jesus that gets us to heaven.
