Some people they think,
because they are good
to heaven they’ll get . . .
as all nice people should.
They say their deeds,
are their sure way in
how their good acts
will atone their sin.
Some people they feel,
it’s up to them to obtain
their way into heaven
on a performance campaign.
Their credentials point to,
all of their good doings
and the actions of . . .
their own choosing.
But, Jesus I don’t believe,
there’s any acts we can do
to earn our salvation . . .
other than faith in You.
For it is by Your Life,
Your blood, grace and love
that we even can get . . .
to heaven above!
~~~~~~~
For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that
not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
Not of works,
lest any man should boast.

That is one of my go to scriptures. It is all God’s gift to us. The Spirit and Jesus to the sanctification. We need to have faith and put a effort out there to stay the course. He will guide us through to the end. I have to remind myself daily of this. Or is that him? I also like Rev. 21:3 wonderful post so good for all of us.

Sounds like Him doing the reminding cause I am hearing the same thing 🙂 I was raised on works . . . but once I found my faith in His grace I am now only concern in the “good works” the Holy Spirit is doing in me! ~ Blessings ~
