Saved By His Death, Saved By His Life (Poem)

Saved By His Death, Saved By His Life

On Calvary, He was crucified, and there God’s wrath was outpoured;
He shed His precious blood, and many witnessed the death of the Lord.
But after three days in the tomb He arose to new life;
Behold, your Saviour is risen, the Lord Jesus Christ.

By His death we are saved - our sin debt was fully paid -
They were all buried with Jesus in the depths of the grave.
The blood that Jesus shed washes our sins all away;
“It is finished” was the loud cry that was heard that dark day.

By His life we are saved, we are risen by faith;
When we trust in the Gospel, we are saved by His grace.
From death to life everlasting, He is alive forevermore;
Come, see the tomb is empty, and behold your risen Lord.

By His life we live eternally - we have power from on High;
By His death, by His life, we are saved - you and I.
Let us live for our Saviour, live each moment by His grace;
Watching and waiting for Jesus - till we see Him face to face.

Romans 5:6-10 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Deuteronomy 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

Colossians 3:3-4 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
