God's Gift A Poem by Merlene Howard

[Merlene Howard]

GOD’S GIFT

What then, shall we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace?
God forbid. For sin has no power over you anymore, but righteousness for God’s sake

Know to whom you yield yourself servants to, know to whom you will obey
Whether you obey sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness, know God takes sin away

For whom you were the servants of sin you certainly were not living right
What were your fruits then to sin? And your death is one without Christ

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus our Lord
Being then made free from sin you are servants of God with a righteous sword

(Rom. 6: 15-23)

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
(Romans 6:23)
