An Observant Jew ?

Are your sins simply covered
Or taken away
Are you hoping good deeds
Will save on that Day?

Like Israel of old
We’re to purge our lives
Drive out, all our foes
Know God’s blessings, and thrive.

So like Israel, we too co-habit
Instead of purging, die to self
Compromising, we let our flesh
Pursue the carnal, and worldly wealth.

So our heart, we must examine
Must guard, keep sealed
To be healthy, not hardened
Circumcised, not diseased.

A new creature in Christ
The old, has passed away
A circumcision, without hands
Jesus opened, a new way.

Be repentant, not rebellious
Obedient, His Spirit-filled
Submitted, not stubborn
Seek God, not self-willed.

So, study the Scriptures
Of men’s motives and methods
For what the LORD seeks
To be used, as His vessel.

On this ‘Feast of First Fruits’
A burnt and grain offering
Foreshadowing Messiah
And His people, following.

How God frees from bondage
All those, captive to sin
Jesus’ blood, our atonement
To cleanse of leaven, within.

Reconciled thro’ His death
To God, in one body
Fulfilling God’s Law
A new covenant, to embody.
