Analysis of Judgment and Glory



The righteous judgment of God,
To consider you as worthy;
Suffering whence you were flawed,
In following His decree.

God considers to repay,
Tribulation to afflict;
Judgment of how you obey,
And make known of His verdict.

If afflicted grant relief,
When the Lord has been revealed;
For your faith and your belief,
Your verdict will be unsealed.

Flaming fire for vengeance,
On them who do not know God;
Without oath of allegiance,
To Him to honor and laud.

Punishment is eternal,
Away from the Lord’s presence;
The fiery infernal,
Far from the Omnipresence.

When Jesus comes on that day,
In His saints be glorified;
The faithful that did not stray,
From whom had been crucified.

Wherefore we will pray for you,
Be worthy of His calling;
That your faith will remain true,
And that keeps you from falling.

So that the name of the Lord,
Maybe glorified in you;
The grace of God be adored,
In all that you will pursue.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
