Salvation and Its Jargon 2

 

 

Salvation is the saving of a sinner

From the clutches of sin,

This is a simple explanation

And the best place to begin.

 

You would notice the word clutches

For there is more than one

Each one begins with “P”

In this you should be warned.

 

There is the “penalty” of sin

And there is also its “power”,

There is the “presence” of sin

In which we live every hour.

 

The wages of sin is eternal death

Here we speak of its penalty,

Its power influences the way we live

In our day-to-day activity.

  

Sin’s penalty is waived

When a soul becomes saved

And the loosening of its power

Is demonstrated in the way we behave.

 

“Transformation” is initiated

And in that life the change continues,

Such a change is noticeable

In that person’s outlook and views.
