Picture of Grace

Picture someone with no reason for living with no hope of smiling again,

Imagine a world with no golden day brake enclosed by the blackness of sin

Then this seed is baked in beauty of glory transformed by loves sweet embrace

The hands of my savior erased all my sorrow and painted this picture of grace.

How skillful the hands of the artist, who painted this picture of me.

He saw with the eyes of a master, how beautiful my life could be,

Where once was a portrait of gloom and despair this masterpiece stands in its place.

Its signed with his blood and it framed with his glory, this beautiful picture of grace.

Ashes and ruin that once filled the picture have vanished and faded from view,

With beautiful touches of mercy adorn this picture he painted anew.

Such peace fills the eyes of the one he created a smile gently rests on his face,

Since Jesus erased all the guilt of my past and painted this picture of grace.

His mercy endureth FOREVER:

His Free Gift to You!

Sometimes we need to remember what team were on!

I am on GODs team! I am on GODs team! With him by my side I KNOW the victory we will win!

John 16:33

"These things have I written unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be off good cheer; I have overcome the world."

We will go through hard times, loss and pain. I have the assurance that in the end I am on the winning team. If your going through hard times this is the greatest of assurances.

Just hang on through the hard times for the victory surely comes!

Want to join Gods team its simple:

In one minute I can explain to you how you can know for sure that if you died today you would go to Heaven.

All you have to know are 4 things.

1] Man is a sinner. Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

2] There is a price on sin, eternal death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

3] Jesus paid that price on the cross. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

4] By faith in Christ we can be saved. Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.



HERE IS HOW YOU CALL UPON THE LORD

Do you admit that you are a sinner?
Do you realize your sin has a punishment and that is Hell?
Do you believe Jesus died on the Cross to pay your sin debt?

If you are sorry for your sins and would like for God to save your soul, just ask Him.

Dear Jesus,
Please forgive me of my sins. I trust you today, JESUS, and only You, to take me to HEAVEN when I die. Thank you for saving me.
Amen.

Just as you were born to your parents, you were born into the Family of God when you called on Jesus and you can never be unborn from the family of man or God! Romans 6:23b ;but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Have a great week!
