WHAT EVERY TRUE BELIEVER SHOULD KNOW

By Andy Visser

In Romans six, verses three and four,
The old man in us lives no more. (Gal. 2:20-21)
We died with Christ and were buried too, (Col. 3:3)
And in God's sight, a creature new. (II Cor. 5:17)
Why should such a grand and glorious truth
Be buried beneath man-made traditional booth? (Col. 2:8-10)
This message of grace was revealed through Paul,
The blasphemer and persecutor who was formerly Saul. (I Tim. 1:13)
Who sat at the feet of Gamaliel’s school, (Acts 22:3-5)
Which made him an enemy and the devil’s tool.
Away with false brethren who come in unaware (Gal. 2:1-9)
And pollute the Word of God with traditions and fare.
The curse of God rests on angel and man (Gal. 1:6-9)
Who refute God’s Word and refuse to stand (Gal. 5:14)
For the gospel of glory committed to me (I Tim. 1:5-17)
Which was hid in God and for Paul to see.
For he died in chains for this message of grace, (Eph. 6:19-20)
So that every believer be carried up in space, (Eph. 1:18-23)
At the Father's right hand — a part of Christ’s Body. (Eph. 2:6)
Oh, what a beautiful story for saints to study. (Col. 1:23-29)
