Assurance of Pardon
(inspired by John 3:16-17)
How much does God love us?
Enough to send the divine heart, hope, and spirit to us,
not to condemn us, but to save us.
Not by our speaking or doing,
Not by our speaking or doing,
but by God's good and precious grace are we saved.
Thanks be to God! Amen.
