Chapter 62
Gift of Salvation

God is the author of all creation
a
b
He is the treasure of the righteous
And the refuge of the unrighteous

Good words can win people over
c
d
Good deeds can bless people

e
Even if we are faithless, He remains faithful
For He cannot deny Himself

Hence, the Son of God is honored at the right hand of God f
And before the angels encircling the throne
g

Though there is the offering of jade
Followed by stately horses
It does not compare to being seated in the kingdom of God

Why did our ancestors value God so highly?
h
They were told that those who seek will find
And those who sin shall be set free i
Therefore, salvation is the greatest gift of God
