61*. What, Sinner, Canst Thou Do

S.M.
1
What, sinner, canst thou do?
 
Where, sinner, canst thou fly?
 
Eternal wrath hangs o’er thy head,
 
And judgment lingers nigh.
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36)
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.” (Romans 1:18)
“Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” (Ephesians 2:3)
2
For God must visit sin
 
With His displeasure sore:
 
Since He is holy, just and true,
 
And righteous evermore.
“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4)
“Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.” (Isaiah 6:10)
“Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.” (Isaiah 45:21)
“He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.” (John 3:33)

So Jesus died for sin — 
 
Upon the cross He died;
 
God’s righteousness was there displayed,
 
And justice satisfied.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:3)
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” (Philippians 2:8)

Faith is the way of life;
 
Believe in Christ and live;
 
Fly to the shelter of His blood,
 
And peace with God receive.
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36)
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)
