Justification A Poem

 This is the Cornerstone of the Christian Faith, for no Works, No Church, and No Sacrament will ever save you, only faith in Christ and what he did at Calvary, his finished work at the Cross, nothing else.  Anyone who tells differently is lying, plain and simple.

JUSTIFICATION

Justification by faith alone

The Pauline revelation,

Apart from works in sov’reign grace,

We have this great salvation;

Justified in God’s pure sight

Before His throne we’re sinless;

Just as though we had never sinned,

By Christ’s substitution guiltless.

So many think they are saved by works,

Though deeds of worthy merit,

And kept secure by holding on,

Thus robbing Holy Spirit

Of His marv’lous keeping pow’r

By which He preserves His own,

Through all of life’s vicissitudes,

Presents them faultless at His throne.

Justified not by what we do,

But by what we must believe,

Concerning death of Christ our Lord,

Who by faith we then receive;

The moment that faith takes hold,

And the precious blood’s applied,

The soul is washed from all its guilt,

With Christ the Lord is Crucified

Justification which is by faith

Imputes to us position,

By substitution through His death,

We are assured remission;

When Christ died we died with Him,

From tomb both rose together,

And now in Christ we have been raised

Saved forever and forever!
