Tradition is False, But The Word Is Real

ForeverJesus7

I do not have,

a problem with tradition.

Preferably, I embrace it.

... to a certain extent that is.

Nevertheless,

it is true,

that Christ's death,

resurection,

and ascension,

has freed us,

from the traditions of laws and rules.

No longer must we follow,

'we shall do this.

We shall do that',

to get into Heaven.

Yes, it is true,

that we are not saved,

by the laws,

that were given to moses.

Nevertheless,

we must not count,

tradition as a bad thing.

We must not think,

as though the law is irrelevant.

Although it is impossible,

to keep all of the laws,

we must still try,

to keep the law -

knowing that it is not,

the law that will save us.

Rather, it is Christ's grace.

We do not need,

tradition and laws,

to make it into Heaven.

Still, they do help us,

to live our lives,

on this earth.

Yes, it is by tradition,

that we follow tradition.

Yet, we must,

always remember,

that everything in God's Word,

is true.

  • Comment from author about the poem: We must not dwell on traditions and laws, nor should we focus on them. Still, many people, Christians and non Christians, tend to forget, or just choose to overlook the fact that everything in the Bible is still relevent and will always be relevent. Remember that Christ did not come to abolish the law. Rather He came to fulfill the law. Jesus Christ is the only way. Persistence is key

    It is by tradition that we follow tradition, eh? I like that quite a bit. Never thought of it that way.

    Good Morning ZION ~ Thanks for your Meditation ! We are *Born Again* Cristians and are filled & motuvated by the HOLY SPIRIT ! The Nine Fruit of the Spirit enable to live Holy Lives in a Sinful World. We could not live *Holy* without the Holy Spirit which enables us to follow the precepts of the OT including the 10 Comandments ~ AMEN. The Christian Church is nearly 2000 years old so it is bound to have some Traditions like CHRISTMAS ! But we only follow the Traditions (such as the Communion Service) which are found in the BIBLE the Word of God. Always bearing in mind that we are now in the New Covenant (Christianity for the Whole World !) which has fulfilled the Old Covenant (Judaism) ~ OK.

    Blessing s & Peace to You & Yours
