From Romans 6:6: “We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.”

Today’s world fills with darkness
Hiding earth’s moral decay
Needing to live as Christ lived
Removing evil, God’s way
Dying and rising in Christ
Baptized into Jesus’ death
Raised up like Him from the dead
Walk in newness of life’s breath
Sinful nature saved through Christ
Vanquished through body and blood
Walking away from the flesh
Carried far from sin’s sour flood
Following our Savior’s love
No longer walking in sin
Past selves redeemed at the Cross
Chains of sin’s power grow thin
Like wearing a worn-out shoe
Dark, sinful life doesn’t fit
Living as new creations
Trusting Christ, His love acquits

From Colossians 3:1-2: “So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.”
Following our Savior’s love. That is the key! Thanks for this lovely poem. 🌟
