Was It For
Naught?
by
Barbara Philbrook
Was it for
naught that Jesus died in our place,
or have you accepted salvation and joined the race?
Have you sought
the truth in God's Holy Word,
have you learned what took place and why it occurred?
Do you see that
a choice must be made,
that is why the price for our sins was paid?
God's love is so
perfect, so pure and true,
that it can not be forced on me or you.
It must be
chosen by us each on our own,
as the truth of Salvation to each is made known.
What took place
on Calvary was for us you see,
so we could live with God for eternity.
But in order for
us this precious gift to receive,
we must find the truth and believe.
We must repent
of all past sin,
and open our heart's door and invite Jesus in.
The Holy Spirit
does the changing from inside,
where you have invited Him to reside.
We on our own
could not bring the changes about,
so we surrender daily and let Him work them out.
I couldn't let
Jesus' suffering be for naught,
so I've chosen salvation as I was taught.
Please seek and
find and recognize the choice,
then speak it clearly with your own voice.
Don't miss out
don't be left behind,
all who seek are promised this truth they'll find.
