26. I KNOW WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED
-
I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeem’d me for His own.
Chorus:
But I know whom I have believe,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto Him against that day.
-
I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace with my heart.
-
I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus thro’ the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
-
I know not what of good or ill
May be reserved for me,
Of weary ways or golden days
Before His face I see.
-
I know not when my Lord may come
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’II walk the vale with Him,
Or “meet Him in the air.”
GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
