Salvation
Through revelation
Is our destination
And by the grace
Of God
We have arrived
I Peter 1:9-10
“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you.”
I Peter 1:13
“…and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you, at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
If you want
To find the truth
Start digging
Because it is
Buried
Underneath
Everything
That exists
I Corinth 3:11
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
St. John 14:6
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
When the subject
Becomes the object
There is no more desire
The subject has achieved its goal
By becoming what it wanted to be
It was Christ’s desire
To become one
With me
St. John 17:21
“That they all may be one; as thou Father, are in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us…”
Death is powerful
It moves us
The death of one
Moved all of us
From the temporal
To the eternal
From the unholy
To the holy
It shifts our entire
Field of vision
It was not good
That man be alone
He would need
A helpmate
To bring to fruition
What was not
But now is
The generation
Of Jesus Christ
Sin gives rise
To salvation
Genesis 2:18
“It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.”

There is only one God
And this is true
Therein lies the
Commonality
Of all humanity
There is only one you
St. John 10:30
“I and my Father are one.”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting For the Word
The Word of God
Is sent from God
And returns to God
The one who sent it
Is the same as the
One who receives it
St. John 14:3
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
The love
Of Christ
Is invaluable
Priceless
Not for sale
Free to all
Faithful
And true
Romans 8:35
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?…
Jesus Christ
Humbled himself
By taking on
The form of a man
He personified God
To make him
Accessible to us
So we would know
Who God is
And would not
Be worshipping
A God we did not know
St. John 17:3
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Christ
Loved us
More than
He loved
Himself
It is an act
Of true love
When one
Gives his life
To save another
St. John 15:13
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Galatians 2:20
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
