JUSTIFICATION

The following are thoughts from my Bible study/meditation on The Three types of Justification in the bible, first shared 1 year ago today.

Missionary Work in Akulivik, Canadian Arctic

1. Oh what salvation full and free that God by his grace can first justify me!
A wretched sinner, the carnal mind
How could he ever this lost soul find?
He called me to repent and to believe
His gospel of faith he begged me receive
I repented and gave up my idols of nought
Believed in his words as the penitent ought

2. Then all it took was his imputation
God's mental estimation that changed my condition
He thinks of me as having righteousness
No more he esteems me as that sinful mess
And so by his grace I am made free from sin
Divine imputation cleanses me from within.

Missionary work in Dublin, Ireland.

3. You see,
God alone can think and it is
God alone esteems and it makes
God alone can save man from sin
And when God justifies,
Who dares a charge lay?

4. I am free, oh I am free!
By his imputation
Free from sin, free from sin!
By God's mental estimation
Made a doer of the law
By his faith's motivation
'Tis a subjective change
In my heart's condition

Peaceful scene at Questelles Bay, St. Vincent

5. Now I live by faith,
Doing good works of the law
Not by my might or strength
But by his Spirit's power
All glory to him who first justified me

6. Then secondly,
Since my works by faith be
His friend, he declares me

7. Then finally,
When judgment comes in heavenly court
On account of my works I shall certainly know
Holy or unjust? Filthy or righteous?
Oh lord I cry,
Whether I live or should die
Let my humble soul be by you justified!
Amen.

Poetic justice sweet thoughts of justification
God had point you to the right direction
Justification is the high point in the plan of salvation
Your words are always full of movtiation.
I love it beautiful keep it up. The poetry that is.

Thanks for the encouragement Bro. Dwayne. Actually I have been writing poetry for years now...just don't publish much. But I like to think of it as not so much a skill but just sometimes the truth hits me in a certain way that I write this way..know what I mean? I am sure you do. I have a few songs I have written as well and hope to one day formally record and share them. Let's keep each other in prayer for victory to the end.

Beautiful are the words of thy lips
It testifies of gratitudinous thoughts within
You offer it as thanksgiving unto him
Your Lord and Saviour Jesus the great Justifier
For indeed he has justified you from all your sins
And will justify you as long as you continually serve him!

Amen very nice Sister Anesia... we have got another poet by God's grace :)

Amen my Sis. Very beautiful are the thoughts that was upon your mind. It truly testifies of your justification thus you think upon Spiritual things and now we see the fruits of your justification through your works even in writing this poem and sharing it so others may be blessed. Certainly as you continue to do more and more great lawful works for our King being motivated by faith in the heart it will be added to the book of remembrance. One day in the courts of heaven YHWH will say Anesia Baptiste "Righteous"! Continue my dear Sis with the love of YHWH always shed abroad your heart unto sealed perfection! Love you Sis in Christ! :)
