What Would You Say?

 
Two little girls were talking with their mother about ‘the Saviour, and about their sins. One of them said,
“I wonder, mamma, if I were to die, what I would say to God?”
“I know what I would say,” said her sister Nellie.
“Well, what would you say?” asked the mother. The child replied “I would say—
‘Remember all the dying pain
That my Redeemer felt,
And let it answer for the stain
Of all my sins and guilt.’
That’s what I would say, and then God would not say anything, would He, mamma?”
She had laid hold of the blessed word,
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.” Rom. 8:11There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1). He has borne all the punishment for our sins on the cross, and there is none left for those who put their trust in Him, to bear.
How blessed it is to rest in what the Redeemer has done. Blessed, too, to know that God gave His Son to come to be the Saviour in order that we might have all our sins and guilt awered for, and that we might know Him, and be able to rejoice in Him forever.
“God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom. 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8).
“Only trust Him, only trust Him,
Only trust Him now;
He will save you,
He will save you now.”
