Reconciliation Message
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
For the love of Christ controls,
Because we justly conclude;
One that died for our souls,
For faith given attitude.
He died so that we might live,
No more living in conceit;
But for Him for our sake,
That we can be made complete.
No one grants the flesh thereof,
Though we once regarded Christ;
Now flows the blessings of love,
And spiritually enticed.
If anyone is in Christ,
He is a new creation;
For the old is sacrificed,
Giving our salvation.
Because all things are from God,
Who through Christ reconciled;
For submission as we laud,
Purging what is defiled.
That God was in Christ to wit,
To reconcile in this place;
Making spiritually fit,
Who are willing to embrace.
We are His ambassadors,
As through us God did beseech;
That each one of us implores,
Proclaiming through our speech.
God had made Christ to be sin,
Although had known of sin not;
So that our lives begin,
For righteousness to be sought.
