GPP 71: The Lord Strengthens

Spiritual warfare rages earth for souls—
Trying to thwart God, Satan roams the world,
Duping men and women to live in roles
Sure to land them in hell, where he’ll be hurled!
God’s own Son died, in place of fallen flesh,
Redeeming any who in Him believed;
Giving them new lives in which to start fresh,
The guilt of past plus new sins full relieved!
God’s Spirit indwells, to guide each aright;
Lord Christ Jesus orchestrates world events,
Aiding the saved to live in paths of light,
Avoiding ways the evil one presents!
But most choose to stay in the devil’s grip;
For the few righteous, glorious the trip!

Promise Made: 1 Thessalonians 3:3 (Paul writes)—
“But the Lord [Christ Jesus] is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you against the evil one [Satan, the devil].” (NIV) [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)
