Conquering Temptation

Romans 8:31-39

If God is for us, who could be ever against,
So there is no reason for to act so tensed;
He did not even attempt to spare His Son,
But surrendered Him as a victory is won;
So who would even say against the saints,
In combating evil, God gives us restraints;
For Jesus Christ came risen up from death,
As the one judging us after our last breath;
What would come between us and Christ,
The temptations luring as we are enticed;
Same like the Holy Scriptures have said,
Each and every day we are actually dead;
Being like sheep ready for the butchery,
But His love overcomes such treachery;
As for certain that nothing on this earth,
Of more value than His love and its worth.
Not life, death, nausea creating ill heath,
Nor fame, defamation,influence, or wealth;
Neither of any greed or any type of fraud,
To come between me and the love of God.
