My God's Love Was There

My God's Love Was There

His love lifted me;

From the sinking sands of sin.

I cried for His help;

I looked for a helping friend.

But none heard my cry;

Cared not if I lived or died.

There I took His hand;

Then He pulled me to His side.

His rescuing love;

Pulled me from the fire;

From the sinking mire;

God became my desire.

He led me, through truth;

His love healed my broken heart.

When this world of grief;

Wanted to tear my life apart.

But God's love was there;

In my grief, In my despair,

Just when I thought no one cared;

My God's love was there.

In the darkest night;

Where there was no shining light.

I'm so glad my God;

Pulled me from the devil's snare.

But God's love was there;

In my grief, In my despair.

There was His Hand.

God became my desire.

A Song About Salvation

January 14th, 2017


Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Mathew 14:29 - 33
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
 Then they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Here Are Thoughts About Two Views: Salvation

Here Are Thoughts About Two Views:  Salvation

If someone were to ask me "How do people acquire salvation?," It would not be by living good enough.  People who never enter His rest, will do many good works, to earn their way to heaven.  They still will never live good enough. Though this is commendable, from a human standpoint. 

God's word tells us, "Our righteousness is like filthy rags".

That's why God did everything for us at Calvary.  We simply need to trust that His love led Him to take care of it for us.  God sent his Son out of His great love.  He paid the price for us and that made all those that trust, believing upon Christ, good enough.  We can rest in knowing

that we are not good enough and will never be good enough, to make it into heaven on our own.

It's all about what Christ did at his death and at his resurrection.  He did the work required for salvation.  We never could pay our sin debt by ourselves. He paid our debt.  It was paid in full. 

He justified us through faith by "His work" alone. He willingly laid down his life for us.

It only takes one sin.... No one can live that kind of perfect life.  The bible says, If we break one of the commandments, in one point, then we are guilty of breaking all.  That sin could even seem very small to us, but sin is sin.  We are all guilty until Christ declares us innocent through His shed blood, in that we become genuine born again believers.  Then the gift of salvation is applied base upon those terms.

I'm so glad Christ did not leave salvation up to my good works, though I do try to please Him with my life.  When he sees me, He sees someone His Son died for and accepted the gift of His salvation.  Then at the time of salvation, I became a Child of God, as all who will trust Him.  Our works will prove our faith, but our works will not save us.  All the credit will go to Christ for our salvation.  That's called giving Him glory and not our own works. 

Father God,  There are some people who think they could never be saved because of some of the things they've done in life.  I think of Paul who actually persecuted and killed Christians, or the Woman at the well who had seven husbands, or the woman caught in adultery.   All of these people found your mercy and were saved at the moment of belief and trusted in you. I pray Lord you'll speak to hearts today and anyone wanting to accept your gift will call upon your name right now and receive you into their heart and life.

 The people from scriptures, I mentioned, They repented and turned to Christ for salvation.  He did not reject them but made them part of the family of God.  They turned from one life to a life living for God through Jesus Christ our Lord. You can do that too.

When God says something, He never lies.

 Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
