'What think ye of Christ?'
---Matthew 22:42

What have I done with the gift that Christ
gave, through His Grace, to me?
What have I done with His sacrifice
on the Cross at Calvary?

He set me free from the lost world's claim,
and from the wage of sin.
In Him, I have found newness of life
among the Born-Again.

What have I done with Salvation's joy
and the comfort of that hope?
When trouble comes, is my trust secured
in faith---enough to cope?

What have I done with the Word of God---
do I love it whole, or part?
Can anyone who knows me find
its traces in my heart?

How do I treat the folks I meet
(and what have they thought of me)?
Have I served them all, or else have shown
faithless partiality?

What will I do on Judgment Day?
Do I know my name shall be
in the Book of Life? And where shall I
spend my eternity?

'Well done!' will Christ say, heartily---
or will He be ashamed of me?
What have I known, and what have I done,
with the Gospel truth of God's dear Son?

To seven places, Paul dispatched nine letters
(some sent while while free, some sent while bound in fetters).
And in the greetings of each one are told
the privileges that faithful Christians hold.
