I finalize my faith in God
Searching through the Sacred Scriptures.
Other sources tend to leave me
With unclear and cloudy pictures.
Sacred truths are more exact
When extracted from the inspired Word.
For men filled with the Holy Ghost
Recorded every truth they heard.
God first spoke through His creation.
Then, through the prophets He was heard.
Finally, in these final days,
Spoke through His Son,the Living Word.
Some will stray beyond what's written,
But we must go by His direction.
God-breathed scriptures give us all
A lesson in self taught correction.
Study to show yourselves approved...
Rightly dividing what's revealed.
God instructs us in the scriptures.
His Will for us is not concealed
We must let the Spirit lead us
In all truth and righteousness.
If not recorded in God's Word
Then it isn't ours to profess.
We can't be distracted by tradition
Wrought by the hands of haughty men.
They offer many ways to Heaven
But deliver death, for in the end
There is only one Redeemer...
One intercessor...Jesus Christ
The Cross has never been an option.
It's the only way to obtain life.
The scriptures are our safest guide...
Well demonstrated by our Lord.
His words to Satan,"It's written,"
Tells us we should be in one accord.
Jesus did not trust tradition.
He by passed the religious way.
Instead, He quoted from the scriptures.
Should we not do the same today?
I, for one, believe the Bible.
It's embedded in my mind.
In my heart and soul forever
Are Sacred Scriptures...Scriptures Divine.
Lovingly,
