Law Enhancement

Matthew 5:17-20

Think not that Christ comes to end any rule,
Or throw away the sayings of the prophets;
He came to fulfill them as a spiritual tool,
Making it complete on what one inherits.

Until Heaven and earth come to an end,
Not the smallest of a letter or even a part;
Will be stricken from the law or suspend,
Until all things have been done to impart.

Then whoever goes against these laws,
And teaching others for to do the same;
Shall be posted in Heaven of their flaws,
As they will be registered with their name.

But whoever keeps the law holding it tight,
By professing to others in order to retain;
While praising Him for blessings of insight,
As a place for Him in your heart to remain.

The word from the prophets came true then,
And shall come true as written once more;
If your righteousness less than clergymen,
You will find Heaven with a locked door.
