From 1 Corinthians 6:11: “And this is what some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”
Witnessing renewing birth
Receiving Gospel’s new hope
Living through Christ on this earth
Grace flows down slippery slope
Leaving former sinful ways
Washing us clean with new hope
Walking in God’s trust each day
Resurrection’s firm tightrope
Raising up Christ, sin’s payoff
Blessings of faith fill new hope
Anchoring light, hell casts off
Holy Spirit, life’s tow rope
Sharing His goodness and grace
Sensing Christ fueling new hope
Grasping life’s new, righteous place
God justifies Glory’s scope
From 1 Peter 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
