"'On the contrary, we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.’” Acts 15:11
no hoops to haveto jump through.
no secret handshake
that is shared in the shadows.
no written test with either
essays or multiple choice.
no proof of ancestry, education,
resume, passport required.
no need to bring references
from at least 5 people who
have known you for 10 years or more.
no musical knock on a door or
password with a certain response,
no retinal scan or
scanned palm print necessary.
no statement of a perfect life lived
or pins with perfect attendance
in Sunday school dangling to your ankle.
no baptismal certificate or
letter of transfer.
just grace.
pure grace
simple grace
only grace.
