Saving is God's Effort


Ephesians 2:8 & 9

By God's grace through faith you're saved,
This is not of your doing that you engraved;
Rather as a gift from God our Heavenly Host,
Not man-made and that no man should boast;
We tend to take credit for everything we do,
And then we never take in the entire view;
We think being saved through human effort,
Forgetting God's compassion and comfort;
Just going to church and attending service,
That God will forgive our sins and bless us;
The situation is it does not work like that,
To think so you're talking through your hat;
Salvation does not come from man or beast,
The source is from God and not a priest;
It's a gift from God that we need to accept,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord for concept;
A salvation that gives each of us a relief,
And Jesus Christ is God's Son in our belief;
As a planned sacrificed when He was sent,
For requesting forgiveness as we repent.
