Multiplying Salvation Requirements
The Bible is clearly explicit
Concerning the salvation of a person
But some have multiplied the requirements
To create a gigantic problem.
Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
And believe God raised him from the dead,
This is the basis for salvation;
In the Bible this is what is said.
For with the heart
Man believes unto righteousness
And with the mouth
Confession is made unto salvation.
This is rather simple and straightforward
But some believe it’s not enough
So as to make it more exclusive
The requirements must be tough.
So, they multiply the requirements
They repeatedly added to the terms
Hence offering a pseudo salvation
And the true salvation spurn.
They introduce laws and rituals
They emphasize days and diets,
Their study books replace the Bible
And any contravention creates a riot.
Saving faith is replaced by works
And God’s grace is minimized
And the recipient is always in doubt
Concerning whether he’s been reconciled.
