Analysis of The Love Law
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Pass not judgment on each other,
And avoid any stumbling block;
In trying to trip your brother,
On the pathway where he would walk.
I am persuaded in the Lord,
In itself nothing is unclean;
For by walking in one accord,
He is building my self-esteem.
If your brother grieves what you eat,
No longer do you walk in love;
Destroy not others that you meet,
Reason why Christ had died thereof.
Let not what you regard as good,
Ever be spoken of as evil;
Always doing the way you should,
Avoiding works of the devil.
It is not what you eat or drink,
But joy in the Holy Spirit;
For the righteousness as you think,
On blessings that you inherit.
So whoever is serving Christ,
Is acceptable unto God;
Approved by men who sacrificed,
That worship to honor and laud.
Make every effort making peace,
For mutual edification;
Any hostilities to cease,
For righteous sanctification.
