Do not love the things of this place,
Love for the Father is not in;
He considers you a disgrace,
Since you are lusting after sin.
For all that is within the world,
Desires of the flesh and eyes;
The pride of life will be hurled,
As part of Satan in disguise.
For the world is passing away,
Along with all its desires;
That has been causing you to stray,
Of the evil it requires.
It is the last hour as heard,
The antichrist is coming near;
As it is written in the Word,
That your desires hold so dear.
Many have gone no longer here,
That might have continued to stay;
But being an ultimate fear,
That they have been enticed to stray.
You are anointed by the One,
Having the knowledge and wisdom;
To be escorted by the Son,
Into the gates of His Kingdom.
I write not for knowing the truth,
Because I know you do not lie;
For you are humbled not uncouth,
As you seem to understand why.
Who is the liar that denies,
Jesus is Lord and Son of God;
And that they do not recognize,
Who we need to honor and laud.
Whoever has denied the Son,
Also, has denied the Father;
Denying Christ, the Holy One,
Can never be as your Brother.
Let what you hear as from the start,
Considered to abide in you;
Having engraved into your heart,
Knowing within your mind as true.
This is the promise He has made,
Eternal life if you believe;
With confession that you have prayed,
For salvation that you receive.
