Scriptures we search, in them we find
Eternal life, we think is ours to bind
But knowledge alone, cannot save our soul
For salvation lies, in the One who makes us whole
The Pharisees thought, they knew the way
But missed the Savior, right before their eyes that day
And still today, some think they're saved
By what they know, not by the One who gave
Doctrine is important, it defines our faith
But it's not the key, to eternal life's safe
For salvation's not based on what we know
But on Christ, who loved us long ago
Many will boast, of deeds done in His name
But if not known by Him, eternal life they'll claim in vain
So let us not rely, on our knowledge or our deeds
But on the Savior, who alone our souls will lead.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
