We are under obligation,

Not unto fleshy desires;

Rather by an affirmation,

About what the Lord requires.

 

Living by the flesh you will die,

But by the Spirit you shall live;

For death is not the answer why,

Through confession God will forgive.

 

All that are led by the Spirit,

Will be also the sons of God;

While doing good in merit,

They will no longer become flawed.

 

You did not receive the Spirit,

If iniquities leads your way;

And you will never inherit,

Salvation because you will stray.

 

Slavery leads again to fear,

And hearing such a mournful cry;

Because you never do revere,

Of Abba Father with a sigh.

 

The Spirit Himself bears witness,

To every child of God;

About their spiritual fitness,

Showing that they honor and laud.

 

Heirs of God also heirs with Christ,

For we suffer and glorified;

Through all that we have sacrificed,

In supporting the crucified.

 

Consider present suffering,

Cannot ever even compare;

With the amount of buffering,

That Jesus is willing to share.

 

Since the inheritance is sealed,

We wait for the revelation;

When the glory will be revealed,

In giving a celebration.

 

We are exposed to vanity,

Not willingly because of God;

Subjected to futility,

Because of us in being flawed.

 

Hope is in what we do not see,

We eagerly wait to endure;

Since our faith can make us free,

And possibly give us a cure.
