Can you give up all the things that please you? Or are you too stubborn to let it all go? It is difficult because we are constantly bombarded by it on a daily basis. So many before us have loosed the hold the flesh had on them, and therefore gained eternal life in doing so.
Dead to self, this flesh will be slain,
If I lose my life then I shall gain,
Eternal life in Him alone,
As I cast everything before His throne.
We are but a vessel to be filled,
And when we are attacked He is our shield.
He overtook the flesh and made the call,
He took on Himself the sins of us all.
Will you let Him in to dwell?
Or will deny Him and go to Hell?
The question is simple and bold,
The answer is in the truth He holds.
Die to self, and shed the flesh,
Gain new life in Him afresh.
And without Him we suffer eternal pain,
For in Him we have our life to gain.
Let Christ take control of you and make all things new. The fight against the flesh is ongoing and it will be until Christ comes again.
