RIGHT IN GOD’S SIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When God sent his Son to redeem all sinners
He gave us the option to choose to be a believer
God did this to demonstrate his righteousness
He is faithful to fulfill all of his promises.
The Lord makes sinners right in his sight
He requires us to have faith and live in his light
Believe only in the Lord Jesus Christ
He is fair and just and easily forgives.

Being right is a natural bent of humans. We engage in discussions and conversations to prove that we are right. Being right in our own mind is not the same as being right in God’s sight. The first involves pride while the second requires a lot of humility and also faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. When we want to be right on our own, we focus on serving ourselves. When we desire to be right in the sight of God, we rely on his sovereignty and his power. His grace and mercy is overflowing when he gave his only begotten Son to free us from the debt of sin.
How can we be right in God’s sight? Growing our faith is one of the best ways we can please him.
