It's Not Enough

It’s not enough to attend every Sunday,
and know the law to the letter.
When the law could only show you your sins.
you need be washed in the blood to be in a better.

It’s not enough to dress that outer man,
when the inner man is what it’s all about.
It’s impossible for sin to dwell in the same place with God,
this is why without the baptism in Jesus’ name there is no clout.

You pray to your God maybe three times a day,
while looking down upon those are sincere.
You and your “CLICK” are caught up in possessions you’ve acquired,
not realizing that your very own case is more severe.

The Pharisees for example were part of the Jewish sect,
the people who God had claimed as His own.
They, along with the Scribes and Pharisees tried to trap our Savior,
but Jesus would not allow Himself to be trapped alone.

The Scribes and Pharisees were so caught up into their own traditions,
just like many of the people are now.
Many do not seek a deeper relationship with the Lord 
Because they don’t have the love or the know-how.

Traditions are only practices that people do,
examples are habits, customs and conventions;
but none of these can save the soul of any,
for this was the Lord’s only intention.

It’s not just enough for me to say I believe as in John 3:16,
For even Satan himself does just the same.
Afterward if you haven’t lived a saved life since your sins have been remitted,
You, if you know and have heard the truth will be the only to blame.

LIVING A RIGHTEOUS TRADITIONAL LIFE IS JUST NOT ENOUGH!!!
