Transgressions
You all make a practice of sin,
For sin is transgression from Law;
Transgressions will corrupt within,
That will cause a cancerous flaw.
You know Christ was manifested,
In order to take away sin;
That the Father had invested,
Having spiritual discipline.
No one who abides keeps sinning,
Those sinning know not or have seen;
Sinners are not disciplining,
And in the Father are obscene.
Let no one ever deceive you,
Who has claimed that they are righteous;
That they have been humbled and true,
Being spiritually conscious.
Those who sin are of the devil,
For the devil has been sinning;
Truly their heart does breed evil,
And has been since the beginning.
The reason the Son of God came,
To destroy the works of Satan;
The Kingdom of God would proclaim,
Discard the ways of the Pagan.
No child of God commits sin,
Because it is the seed of God;
That seed can never grow within,
If they ever would become flawed.
You cannot sin if born of God,
If you have been called His child;
Continue to honor and laud,
While being humbly mild.
For the children of the devil,
Will never practice righteousness;
Because of being immoral,
Satan building their shamelessness.
