Ephesians 1: 6-8
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
He provided for us every step of the way. Even in our acceptance of His provision, He is our righteousness within. I offer my life to His service; knowing full well, He is the strength and ability inside. His love and provision in my behalf, makes my offering holy and acceptable in the Father’s sight.
The Offering Accepted
The Holy offering; was sacrificed,
The Son of God offered His life.
He gave so you could receive,
Everything you ever would need.
In His gift; of sacrificial love.
You are forgiven, healed, and led to the Father above.
In His holy work on the cross you find,
The place of mercy and grace aligned.
The debt of sin is forever paid,
For the believing heart provision is made.
A forever bond is formed; never to end.
Jesus paid sin’s penalty for new life to begin.
His gift is free but the cost was greater than you can know.
Full acceptance is assured for every believing, receiving soul.
When you come in repentance and thanksgiving, all needed to do,
Is to offer the life that is now saved, to in God’s holy direction move.
All you say, all you think and all you do with Christ in mind,
Is an offering accepted, when with God’s will aligned.
Even, an apparent mistake or miss-step in your way of living,
When you repent, is an offering accepted; and you are forgiven.
1 Peter 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood,
to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
