Christianity; An Acrostic Poem

Introduction

There are a lot of people who claim to be followers of Christianity. The Bible speaks of those who will honor Christ with their lips but their hearts are far from Him. Many try to do it all their own way but they fail to realize, they must do it Christ's way. They believe the Bible in parts only but have no real clue as to what following Christ ensues.

This poem tells a story of sorts explaining what it means to be saved and from what one can be saved from. The salvation of man is why Jesus came and died for our sins. There isn't a man or woman alive or whoever lived that he did not die for.

The Bible says now is the day of salvation come to you. The word is near you, even in your mouth. Confess the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you shall be saved. It isn't a hard thing to do. Just let your pride go and allow Jesus into your heart.

Christianity

Coming to terms with my sinful nature
Having found the truth in Jesus Christ
Regenerated into a new creature
Imaginations of evilness are cast aside
Saving grace which comes from God is given
To the glory of the Father in Heaven
Instillation of the Spirit of God
Atonement accepted through Jesus' sacrifice
Not stopped by the works of darkness
Idolatry abandoned as knowledge increases
Thanksgiving is due the Lord of lords
Yesterday is gone as the future is held in His hands.

Conclusion

It is not the Father's will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. God loves you so much that he gave His only begotten Son that you might have life.

There are many who would allow you to go into hell without giving it a second thought. They believe God will not put anyone there or that God will bring them out if they do go there. This is one of the lies of the devil himself. God doesn't want you to go there but He won't make you stay out of that dreadful place.

Anyone in their right mind will want to be saved. They don't really want to go into hell no matter how much they say they would rather go there than to be with God. Hell is a place of torment and torture. Hell was not created for man but was created for the devil and his angels. Man is a trespasser in hell.

Man was created to live forever but he messed up. Eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil brought death to every man, woman and child. All sickness stems from that first sin that man had made. Before that happened, man was able to go anywhere and do anything his heart desired.

The world is a messed up place. Evil reigns everywhere. There is none righteous, no not one. We must believe in Christ Jesus then we can become the righteousness of God. The devil is out to steal, kill and destroy but no one has to be destroyed. Jesus made a way for all to come to Him, but we musty make a conscious decision to do so.

There are many parts of the Bible that are hard to swallow and hard to actually follow because of what it tells us we must do. The will of God is hard to conform to but we must conform.
