A person re-born wants like Jesus live,
To live as righteous in the Savior’s eye;
Just two things to that effort can he give:
His most steadfast will pow’r must he supply,
Plus his entire self for Christ to direct!
Self-effort will not Christ-like persons make;
Such must let God’s Spirit mistakes correct,
Guiding actions to do, which not to take!
Christ is patient, mending broken beings;
He gives each many chances to succeed—
Forgives errors, thus from guilt full freeing;
He completes what’s lacking, so none has need!
Flesh cannot live righteous by self alone;
Strength from Christ Jesus lets one to go on!
Promise Made: 1 Peter 5:10 (Peter writes)—“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you whole, strong, firm and steadfast.” (NIV)
“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)
