By Faith

Date:

What is the implication;
Since sin has taken control,
Do we still get salvation,
Or will have a rotted soul.

If not controlled by the laws,
Rather God finding favor;
Even though we still have flaws,
Will grace come through the Savior.

If you make yourself a slave,
You will obey that master;
Until you lie in a grave,
Your life was a disaster.

Either your master is sin,
Or your master is respect;
Allowing the Spirit in,
Never trying to reject.

Sin leads to death in the grave,
But obedience will lead;
You to new life which will save,
From all sin from lust and greed.

Become obedient as taught,
The same as they were given;
Remember that you were bought,
By Christ who is in Heaven.

Freed from sin, you were made slaves,
To do what God approves of;
Given life after the graves,
Through your faith, hope and His love.

I speak in a human way,
For weakness of your nature;
Since you tend to go astray,
Instead of a new creature.

For wages of sin is death,
But the gift given is life;
That faith gives after last breath,
Salvation instead of strife.

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.
