How I receive approval,
From God is made very plain;
With having sin removal,
When Christ had suffered in pain.
A matter of confessing,
Following what Moses taught;
And God will give His blessing,
Through the love that has been sought.
Everyone who believes,
Through the faith in Jesus Christ;
The approval one receives,
Since His Son was sacrificed.
Because all people have sinned,
Each of us has fallen short;
Since we are not disciplined,
For God to give His support.
Only by act of kindness,
Christ Jesus had paid the price;
Frees us from our blindness,
Of the sin that wants to entice.
God showed that Christ is the throne,
Of mercy where God approves;
Given through faith to condone,
As the blood of Christ removes.
God waited to deal with sin,
As committed in the past;
In His patience to begin,
A relationship to last.
He waited for to display,
His approval at that time;
If we do trust and obey,
And avoid committing crime.
Anything to brag about?
For bragging can bring conceit;
So it should be then wiped out,
Before it brings on deceit.
We conclude that a person,
By faith has the approval;
Not by drive in admission,
But of guilt in acquittal.
