Analysis of Faithful incitement
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
You must remember predictions,
From the apostles of the Lord;
Not forgetting the afflictions,
Never letting them be ignored.
The last time there will be scoffers,
Who walk in their ungodly lust;
For the passions of the mockers,
Christ considers not to be just.
It is these who cause division,
People devoid of the Spirit;
Conceive to be an illusion,
In having a godly merit.
Build yourself up to be holy,
Through faith pray to the Holy Ghost;
Faith in the triune God solely,
Reigns over the heavenly host.
Keep yourself in the love of God,
Wait for the mercy of the Lord;
Eternally honor and laud,
As you remain in one accord.
Have mercy on all those who doubt,
Adapt by showing compassion;
Teach others what Christ is about,
So that He will be their passion.
Snatch others out of the fire,
By showing them mercy with fear;
Hating their fleshy desire,
While guiding them to revere.
