God forbid, I accept His grace,
then continue in my sin
shall I not let the old man die
so He can have victory within?
Is not holiness or godliness,
a thought not just to entertain
but one that I must put on
if in Christ, I am to remain?
Is grace so freeing,
that God’s Word plays no part
or shall it be every temptation
still takes hold of my heart?
Am I not to cast off the rags,
of my unrighteousness
or do I still hold onto the filth
the fallen state of my wickedness?
God forbid, I accept His grace,
asking Him for more and more
God forbid, I continue in my sin
and expect to enter heaven’s door!
~~~~~~~~
Romans 6:2
King James Version
“What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin,
that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we,
that are dead to sin,
live any longer therein?”
