Poetry

---

Knowing the fear of the Lord,
Then we must persuade others;
For what we know not ignored,
A conscience for your brothers.

I do not commend myself,
But to give you cause to boast;
Putting my needs on the shelf,
To gain the Holy Ghost.

If ourselves are beside,
It is for God in right mind;
Acknowledge as we abide,
Continue to be aligned.

For the love of Christ controls,
That if one has died for all;
Has been saving our souls,
To rescue us when we fall.

He died so that we could live,
If we are living for Him;
And the Father will forgive,
Confession stops feeling grim.

To the flesh we view no one,
Although we regarded Christ;
But now is viewed as the Son,
On the cross was sacrificed.

If anyone is in Christ,
He is a new creation;
And he will not be enticed,
Rather receive salvation.

All of this has been from God,
Who through Christ reconciled;
To those who honor and laud,
And an adopted child.

God reconciled this place,
Erasing the iniquities;
Reconciled with His grace,
Ridding our vanities.

For we are His diplomats,
If we have become righteous;
Selected aristocrats,
Through Jesus who did purchase.
