So You Want to be Christian?

Do not be a Christian, and sin.
Do not come to Jesus, if sin
Is the thing you love above all.
Get your short life, and fill it good;
Suffer eternity in hell.

For if you will say you are a Christian
And choose to keep on sinning, you shall heap
Up evil upon yourself, and also 
Those you love. For you shall say, "Come this way!"
But it is a slippery slope, which will
Break you. And it will kill those you do love.
For they shall be led by you, believing
They have good from heaven, yet in their sins
Remain they dead to heavenly abodes.

Rather, heap up for yourselves heavenly 
Treasure, by living righteously and true.
Even if you are an offence to your
Brother, at least you live with blessings true.
You show them the path, and, yes, it is hard.
You wrestle with God like Jacob, to wounds
Yet, you cling even though your hip is touched
And you are wounded, broken, bruised--- you cling.
And those who are undaunted by your life
Will follow in your footsteps, those behind Christ's.
