Being a Believer

II Corinthians 5:17

If anyone in Christ, he is a new creation,
True believers have been given salvation;
Old things fade and often passed away,
While all things new are here to stay;
You are not hopeless if you believe,
And not helpless receiving a reprieve;
Firm belief changes you way of life,
That removes the tribulation and strife;
A non-believer's heart, door is closed,
Unable for negativity to be disposed;
When the door to your heart is shut,
The salvation blocked from your spirit;
Pathways in your brain narrow minded,
Sight on the truth will become blinded;
The door is open on a believer's heart,
That enlightens the mind to impart;
An open door on the heart brings to light,
The difference between wrong and right;
God's salvation will let burdens relieve,
Taking time telling God that you believe.
