You indeed are called to be free,
But turn not into an excuse;
For your corrupt nature can see,
The ways and means for an abuse.
Rather serve each other with love,
Following what Moses had taught;
Love your neighbor just as above,
Through the guidance of God is sought.
If you criticize each other,
As you attack with bad insults;
Try not to destroy your brother,
You might get some dreadful results.
Live with a spiritual nature,
Allowing God to direct you;
For living as a new creature,
Letting His glory to shine through.
What your corrupt nature would lack,
Is contrary to what God states;
And you never can take it back,
Once you have opened up the gates.
There are some obvious effects,
When a corrupt nature displays;
For how the attitude it affects,
Mind control as it disobeys.
I have told you back in the past,
And will be telling you again;
The corrupt nature will not last,
For earthly pleasures that have been.
People who do these kind of things,
Will not inherit His Kingdom;
For the false promises it brings,
Will fulfill them with no wisdom.
But the spiritual nature gives,
Kindness to test our patience;
The love, joy and peace each one lives,
Sets you up in a new precedence.
