Analysis of Everlasting Love



What shall we say unto these things?
If God is for us who could not;
Knowing the goodness that He brings,
Catering to all that we sought.

He who did not spare His own Son,
But was given up for us all;
Because of what Jesus had done,
From what Adam taking the fall.

So how shall He not be with Him,
And graciously give us all things?
Our feeling not to be grim,
Knowing the goodness that He brings.

Who brings charges on His elect?
When it is God who justifies;
Who is to condemn and reject?
The one who died if God denies.

Christ Jesus is the One who died,
More than that who also was raised;
For believers has not denied,
Rather a triumph they have praised.

Christ is at the right hand of God,
Who indeed is interceding;
That believers honor and laud,
For the One who had been bleeding.

Who shall separate from His love,
Shall tribulation or distress;
Famine or nakedness thereof,
Persecution as we confess.

We are being killed all day long,
Regarded as sheep to slaughter;
Not for committing something wrong,
Rather baptized in the water.

In all these things that we are more,
Than conquerors through Him who care;
Blessings of love that will outpour,
For anyone willing to share.

That neither would death nor of life,
Nor things present powers to be;
Nor anything else causing strife,
Divide us from a love decree.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
