An old Christian woman was soon to pass into eternity. Being asked what she was resting on, she surprised her inquirer by the answer: "I rely on the justice of God," adding, "justice not to me, but to my Substitute in whom I trust.”
"God could not pass the sinner by,
His sin demands that he must die,
But in the cross of Christ we see
How God can save yet righteous be.

The sin alights on Jesus' head,
'Tis in His blood sin's debt is, paid,
Stern justice can demand no more,
And mercy can dispense her store.”
"FLEE FROM THE WRATH
TO COME.”
"The name of the Lord is a
strong tower: the righteous
runneth into it, and is safe.”
