We are struggling Christians trying our best to stay pure.
Constantly battling against temptation, resisting its allure.
Sin seeks to plunge us back, making us more distressed.
Its pull and push cannot be easily suppressed.
Pleasing God I know will take more than just living by His Law.
For He has sent us His Son and by His sacrifice has saved us all.
God has saved us from the wrath of God that we rightly deserved.
By God’s grace and compassion we have been preserved.
Jesus Christ who knew no sin took on sin for all mankind.
Fully God yet fully Man Jesus came to purify our heart and mind.
We know that we are sinners struggling through this sinful world.
But yet our Father through His grace takes care of us in the present and tomorrow.
So yes, we will always battle with our sinful natures but we are not without help.
For we have Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior to aid us reach our heavenly home.
Yes, we used to live a life of lawlessness and on the sharp edge of Satan’s knife.
But now let us repent and by God’s mercy and grace receive eternal life.
Our Sovereign and powerful God is the Creator of all things
The time will come when God will cut away our sinful strings
For God will destroy this earth of pain, sorrow and sin by fire
We then will live with God for all eternity and no longer be plagued by our sinful desire.
God has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. 2 Tim 1:9
