Notes About The Poem

In Christ

immersed,
         alive to God
this gift by Him,
              eternal life:
to trust&
walk in the Spirit
                      free
from the law
        of death and sin:

sanctified
          at liberty
                 within
the riches
            of His grace:

working through love
a promise
           of life
at peace
              saved
and raised:

to sit
      together
         in a heavenly place:

with every spiritual blessing
then
      to
           fall asleep
                            in Him
  the Christ

this truth in this poem inspired by scriptures in the letters of Paul to Romans/Corinth/Galatia/Phillipi/Ephesus/ and Timothy
