Poetry

---

We are sure if we know,
Jesus if we obey;
For what He taught does show,
How not to go astray.

If you say you know Him,
But refuse to obey;
Then the truth will grow dim,
As a liar each day.

Whoever obeys Christ,
Will be who God does love;
And will not be enticed,
Within this world thereof.

You may be rejected,
By many others here;
But you are perfected,
From love that is sincere.

That is how we will know,
His Spirit is within;
For His spiritual glow,
Has purified from sin.

To say Christ lives within,
Must live in the same way;
Not corrupted in sin,
As they trust and obey.

I am writing to give,
Not a new but an old;
A Law for you to live,
That I already told.

A Law that you have heard,
Truth that exists in Christ;
As written in the Word,
Through love be sacrificed.

The darkness is fading,
As the true light shines bright;
For the love is aiding,
Perceiving through insight.

Anyone who does hate,
Is living in the night;
For they have sealed their fate,
And enter not the light.
