Warning against Regression
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Though we speak in this way,
Swayed to have better things;
In order to obey,
For salvation it brings.
God is not unrighteous,
To block labor of love;
But remaining conscious,
From on His throne above.
I desire each one,
For showing diligence;
Of certainty is done,
For building confidence.
Do not be hesitant,
But followers of saints;
Always be competent,
Patience without restraints.
