Unto the world be not conformed, but let your heart become transformed. <br />Living as a New Creature in Christ, you must depart from your former life. <br />To strive for holiness all your days, while you put behind your sinful ways. <br />These words from God’s Holy Word, I am sure every Christian has heard. <br /> <br />But it is a scary thing indeed, to treat with contempt what one should be. <br />Only to embrace this culture at hand, to create a belief in which to stand. <br />Trampling God’s Holy Word under foot, is not right and it is never good. <br />God isn’t mocked or is He deceived, and what they sow they will receive. <br /> <br />They call right what God calls wrong, while they try to sing a new song. <br />God is Eternal and doesn’t change, and the Word He spoke still remains. <br />Who He was yesterday, He is today, as is the width of His narrow way. <br />So if broad is now your deduction, you may be on a road of destruction. <br /> <br />Friend, Holy is The Lord our God, and holy must be the pathway we trod. <br />To pick up our cross to follow Him, we must first lay aside our former sin. <br />How can anyone follow The Lord, when in his life God’s Word is ignored? <br />We must live as a Living Sacrifice, to draw other people to Jesus Christ. <br /> <br />We come as we are to Jesus Christ, who turns our old ways into New Life, <br />New Life in Christ for others to see, that our new home is now in Eternity. <br />Now just strangers here on earth, transformed to be Holy by a New Birth. <br />To work out our salvation while here, in awe of Christ with trembling fear. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©03/2005)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-not-conformed/
