New Life Awaits

Date:

Is the purpose of Laws given,

Unto us all under Heaven;

For it tells you of wrongdoing,

In the sin you are pursuing.

 

Laws from Moses was showing you,

The promise on how to be true;

It was enacted through angels,

But some may treat them like fables.

 

Does this mean that they contradict,

For the intent that they depict;

In promises God had given,

Unto us to enter Heaven.

 

If all those laws could give us life,

Why do we cope with so much strife;

Because we do trust and obey,

Throughout each and every day.

 

But the world is controlled by sin,

The power that corrupts within;

If a faith based promise through Christ,

Assists you from being enticed.

 

It is given to those who believe,

Eternal life you will receive;

With a means to confess your wrong,

So agony does not prolong.

 

For we were kept under control,

By the Moses laws for our soul;

Until our faith which was sealed,

Through Jesus Christ would be revealed.

 

The laws served as a guardian,

Till we see the Galilean;

And no more under the control,

Of the watchman observes my soul.

 

You are children with faith in Christ,

And willing to be sacrificed;

For all of you have been baptized,

In lieu of being circumcised.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
