*2Corinthians 3:6 "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."

Four letter word…scary to some,
No need to hide…to run;
On Christ Jesus we stand,
Messiah…God's own Son.
This definition…loud and clear,
Will set you free…dispel all fear;
Any assembly that speaks of a man,
More than of JESUS…will soon disappear.
Scripture out of context,
Controlling, as they're read;
Strike fear in the people,
Give them much to dread.
Bound to the assembly,
They never are free;
Salvation hinges on obedience,
Not to God, but to the Pharisees.
Oh, Yes…they're still with us,
Alive…even today;
Heaping heavy burdens on man,
As their forefathers did…yesterday.
JESUS came to set the captives free,
Broke the chains that bound;
No kind words for Pharisees,
He made quite the turnaround.
Unconventional was our Lord,
And, still He is today;
He looks at the hearts of men,
While from the Word, not sway.
The letter kills…Spirit gives life,*
Was always meant to be,
To show us that our real life is,
Not in "form"…"ritual"…but free.
Free from sin, JESUS made us,
Bound, no longer…we;
Now, I'm able to procure,
All He has for me.
An abundant life He offers,
Not of worldly things;
His gifts do not tarnish,
True happiness…they bring.
So, abundant life I'm choosing,
Take Him at His Word;
Things lasting…things Eternal,
Every single thing I've heard.
Why would we even want to follow,
Men who speak of themselves;
They are temporal…Christ Eternal,
Let's make the decision for ourselves!
