From Romans 3:20: “For no human will be justified before Him by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.”
Falling far short
With Father’s law
Darkness of sin
Man’s many flaws

Actions deserved
Love intervenes
Mercy preserved
Empty works fade
Grace filled with love
Sin meets Savior
Called from above
Calvary bleeds
Empty tomb’s light
Redemption saves
Heaven’s hope bright
Righteousness found
In Christ, our Lord
Through faith, not works
By His accord
From Romans 3:27-28: “Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. Through what kind of law? That of works? No, rather through the law of faith. For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.”

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
From 1 Peter 1:8-9: “Although you have not seen Him, you love Him, and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
