Don’t Be Deceived

Don’t be
So naïve
To conceive
That you can receive
Jesus
If you don’t believe
That he died
Your soul
To retrieve;
From such
There is
No reprieve.

For one
Must believe
That Jesus
Was conceived
Of the
Holy Spirit
To receive
Eternal salvation
And not
Be deceived
To believe
Salvation is in any other.

For they
Who believe
Are they
Who receive
Jesus
Whose souls
Are retrieved
From destruction
And who
Are reprieved
And finally relieved
Of the body of death.

So let
Faith arise
Having been apprised
Of the impending
Demise
For they who
Wouldn’t realize
And they who
Who consistently
Despise
The salvation
In which hope lies.

Image result for images for 1 Thessalonians5:8

For without
This hope
You’ll have to cope
With the
Slippery slope
And the suicidal
Rope
You place around
You neck
Having eloped
With the enemy
Of your soul.

One final word
In case
You haven’t heard
Or you are still
Bent on being absurd;
Your sins confess
Your penitence express
Acknowledge your distress
Let Jesus
Sort your mess
And at his behest
Accept his rest.
