The Real Children
Mere generalizations
Devoid of human logic,
These bungling conclusions
Are just simply pathetic.
All men are not God's own-
Though they are His creations,
But those who chose to belong
To Him, through Christ's Redemption.
All suffering in this world
These were not all God's undoing
For the present evil does unfold
Results of all men sinning.
Rebellion took the greater part
Denial of God's existence
Had darkened now the human heart
And sin caused its persistence.
That is why there is the Way:
Jesus, the Truth and the Life
His Cross washed our sins away
His Love saves us from strife.
Receiving Him is the opening
Of one's heart and mind to the Spirit
Who guides all Truth in sancifying
And the lamp of the Soul is lit.
Humility is the key to acceptance
The gift of salvation is not earned
To grieve transgression is repentance
Will release the peace of God yearned.
'The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.'
1 Corinthians 2: 14
'Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave them the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent or human decision... but born of God.'
JOHN 1: 12
