GPP 38: Free Indeed

Satan has locked world culture in deceit,
And all who pursue it are slaves of sin;
Hell’s jaws are open wide for their receipt,
As daily they pour to torment within!
They heard of Jesus, whom they rejected,
Believing instead the lies of the world;
With distrusting Bible they’re injected;
At disciples of Christ, insults are hurled!
Their need: To accept Jesus’ true teaching,
To see how world culture is so corrupt;
To give them new life, Jesus is reaching,
Their headlong rush to hell to interrupt!
The Son wants you from sin’s grip to be freed;
If He sets you free, you are free indeed!

Promise Made: John 8:34-36—“Jesus replied, ‘I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son [referring to a believer in Jesus, who is adopted into the family of God as a brother to Jesus] belongs to it forever. So if the Son [Jesus] sets you free, you will be free indeed.’ “ [Brackets added]

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
