For We Also Are His Offspring Poem by Denis Martindale

When God created all there was, He also made Mankind,
And even saw the Saviour's Cross, so Jesus we could find,
Ahead of our outpouring time, as grains of sand that fall,
God's hourglass, pristine, sublime, remains His miracle.
The Lord has seen the whole parade, the theme of every thought,
With signs in Heaven still displayed, with lessons to be taught,
And prophecies that come to be of Mary giving birth,
Then Bethlehem to Calvary to prove the Saviour's worth.

From Genesis to Malachi, Mankind must still await,
Until God's Son, He would supply, magnificent and great,
And holy, just as Adam was, God's Son proved Himself, too,
Such that Christ suffered on His Cross, the King who died for you.
Would Christ have suffered without cause, to die upon that day,
If every man obeyed God's laws without one thought to stray?
Amazing love, amazing grace, as never seen before,
Christ died to save the human race, of that we can be sure.

Our Father raised the Son of Man, so much more could get done,
His witness to His perfect plan, through Jesus Christ His Son,
Such that Mankind would have the choice, no matter, young or old,
Yes, even to the girls and boys, the Gospel still gets told.
Just think, eternal life can start, as offered by the Lord,
In each believer's noble heart, as if Mankind's reward.
The first day each gets born again, the time each gets baptised,
With confirmed blessings, way back when, as they accepted Christ.

Yes, saved by faith, not works or tithes, nor battle victories,
But just through Jesus, each arrives and loves the Prince of Peace.
Least of the brethren loved the same as mighty lords and kings,
By Jesus Christ who knows each name, and sweet forgiveness brings.
We are the children God has saved, no matter, high or low,
And in His love each gently bathed, beloved, and that we know,
For God is love and welcomes those that kneel before His throne,
Where angels' worship overflows and all true love gets shown.

So why dismiss the prophecies, or promises of love,
Or finding God's eternal peace, or grace that proves enough,
Or wisdom, and discernment, too, or ministries divine,
Or Jesus, who once died for you, declaring, 'You are Mine! '?
Man has no greater destiny, nor fame, nor fashioned fate,
Than finding Christ and Calvary before it gets too late!
How many billions will God spare before God's Judgement Day?
I only know God hears your prayer, so choose well what you pray!

Acts 17: 28:
For in Him we live and move and have our being,
as also some of your own poets have said,
'For we are also His offspring.'
