Jesus Christ came to die upon a cross to Glorify His Father's name, <br />His strong desire to follow His Father's will truly never changed. <br /> <br />Once we are covered by His Blood, we should never be the same, <br />But many who profess to be Christians today never truly changed. <br /> <br />Unlike Christ, The Spotless Lamb, who always remained the same. <br />Sinners like you and I who come to Christ must experience a change. <br /> <br />Those of us, who choose not to change, but want to remain the same, <br />Do not Glorify The Father in Heaven, but fill the church with shame. <br /> <br />But if you're truly a Christian in whom The Holy Spirit does reside, <br />He will make a definite change one can see from your heart inside. <br /> <br />The Holy Sprit is the person in The Trinity, in whom Christ relied, <br />To make a change in Believers that can not and will not be denied. <br /> <br />So if you believe you can profess His Name and from the world hide, <br />Your profession is vein and empty and by Christ you will be denied. <br /> <br />There is no denying the fact that once you believe you shall change, <br />For even Peter, who denied The Lord, later became filled with shame. <br /> <br />But, after Peter was filled with The Spirit, he never was the same, <br />And when demanded to stop, he continued preaching about his change. <br /> <br />One reason many unbelievers today refuse to believe and also change, <br />May be that many who profess to believe continue to remain the same. <br /> <br />(Copyright © 11/2002)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-you-changed/
