From Romans 7:14-15: “For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.”
Even after salvation
Evil gathers temptation
Satan never giving up
His truth always false, made-up
Man continues to wrestle
Sin looks for place to nestle
Feelings of condemnation
Life bears guilty fixation
Inner conflict tears apart
Jesus speaks truth to each heart
Faith’s dilemma overcome
Favored, steady, beating drum
Savior’s blood wipes sin away
Blessed by love, trust never sways
God’s grace eternally flows
His constant love never slows
Father shall never reject
Those who faithfully connect
False promises never blind
Truth of Scripture filling minds
From Romans 8:1-2: “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.”

It is indeed a strange dilemma that we sin even after salvation. But salvation is not a moment, but a journey we all take with Jesus at our side. God will help us ignore the devil’s influence if we have faith in Him. Love your poem!

David, I greatly appreciate your affirmation of this poem. Just because we accept Christ and His salvation, doesn’t frighten the evil one away. He remains on the prowl with even greater determination.
