Life & Death Haikus: Confess & Show Obeisance (Original Poem)

verbal-d (71)in #poetry • 6 years ago

It's wise to fear God
And foolish to fear men 'cause
Their hate can't prevail...

There will be many moments in life where us believers will be challenged and our faith in God will be challenged, and many shall question our loyalty and allegiance while others may even seek to know God through our shared experiences of the relationship we have with God through Jesus Christ. Be not as Peter who denied Jesus Christ three times before the cock crowed, don't deny Him at all and walk fearlessly among men, proclaiming the truth, the way and the life, even if their hatred jeopardises your livelihood here on earth. Any man who attempts to save his own life shall lose it, and any willing to lose his life for the sake of the truth shall save it. Spiritual knowledge is needed to discern such verses and wisdom.

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”
(King James Version Bible - Book 1 Peter: Chapter: 3 Verse: 15)

Regarding Jesus Christ, Our Lord & Saviour)

15 "That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
(King James Version Bible - Book John: Chapter 3: Verse: 15-21)
