A Gospel Witness

I Corinthians 1:17-21

I do not baptize rather preach the Gospel,
Not with wisdom of words to the people;
Then with no effect for the cross of Christ,
Would have been in vain being sacrificed;
The Gospel is for those who perish as fools,
No perception of the prudent or the rules;
The world through its wisdom didn't know,
Implications resulting from the blood flow;
But pleasing to God those able to conceive,
The preaching to save them who believe.
Christians are not judges for to condemn,
To preach the Gospel and warning them;
Being as witnesses of Christ in testimony,
The differences between fact and phony;
For as a Christian you have His might,
And able to see the truth and the light;
You will not perish if letting Him to abide,
Remembering why Christ was crucified;
As a Gospel witness truth sets you free,
Telling the entire world of your decree.
