People today are like the Jews of old,
Who pretended belief in Jesus Christ,
But to perverted paths retained their hold,
Instead of following His true advice!
“We’re not slaves!” both groups claim, neck-deep
in sin,
Clinging for dear life to this world’s embrace,
Absorbed in trinkets developed by men,
With no free time to consider God’s grace!
The real disciple follows Christ’s teaching,
Then he knows the truth, and it makes him free—
Free from the world’s deceitful claws reaching
To keep him enslaved in pursuits unfree!
To be in Christ is to be free indeed;
Truth is found in no other God or creed!
Promise Made: John 8:31b-32 (Jesus speaking)—
“ ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’ “
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
