Salvation and Its Jargon 1

 

 

There are some terms

That we use rather loosely

And in most salvation sermons

They are used profusely.

 

Their usage is not wrong

But they need to be explained

So that in this poem

I shall attempt to do the same.

 

Let us start with “salvation”

To which the others are related:

It is the saving of a “sinner”

That sin had decimated.

 

In explaining salvation

You would have noticed another:

The term that I speak of

Is none other than sinner.

 

“Sin” is whatever is contrary

To the law of God or His will:

A sinner was born in a state of sin

And unless “saved” is of that state still.
