Justified or Condemned

 

You cannot claim the grace of God
And then deny His word.
There’s no relief from sin for those
Still sinning undeterred. 

You cannot walk salvation’s path,
Dragging your sin behind.
The deeds you do, the words you speak
Reflect your heart and mind.
 
If you would claim the redemption
Of Christ’s pure sacrifice,
Then you, too, must follow closely
The one who paid that price.
 
Feed then your soul upon His truth
And guard your words, your heart.
For from dead branches no fruit grows,
As from a sin filled heart.

Matthew 12:33 & 37
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. …  for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
