My Sins Have Been My Greatest Terror, And My SAVIOR Has Been My Choicest Helper.

Crucify your sins

"Those who belong to CHRIST JESUS 
have crucified the flesh with its 
passions and desires." Galatians 5:24

Crucify your sins, which 
have crucified your SAVIOR.

Did the rocks rent, when 
CHRIST died for our sins?
And shall not our hearts rent, 
who have lived in our sins? 

Oh, that the nails which 
pierced His hands, should 
now pierce our hearts. 

Oh, that they should wound 
themselves with their sorrows, 
who have wounded CHRIST 
with their sins. 

Oh, that they who have grieved 
HIS heart, should be grieved 
in their hearts. 

Oh, that I should be such a bad 
a child to HIM, who has been such 
a good a FATHER to me. 

My sins have been my greatest 
terror, and my SAVIOR has been 
my choicest helper.

Oh, put sin to death, for sin was 
the cause of CHRIST'S death.

If someone killed your father--
would you hug him and embrace 
him as your friend, and let him 
eat at your table? Would you not 
rather hate and detest the very 
sight of him!

If a snake should sting your 
dearly beloved spouse to death--
would you preserve it alive, warm 
it at the fire, and hug it in your 
bosom? Would you not rather 
stab it with a thousand wounds! 

And were not our sins the cause 
and instrument of CHRIST'S death? 
Were not they the whips that scourged 
HIM; the nails, the cords, the spear, 
the thorns that wounded HIM, and 
fetched the heart-blood from HIM? 
And can we love our sins, which 
killed our SAVIOR? Can a wife 
truly love her husband, and 
still embrace an adulterer?

We complain of the sins of Judas, 
and seem to hate them, and shudder 
at their mention. And can we love 
our Judas sins, which put CHRIST 
to death? And yet how many are there--
who had rather have sinful-self satisfied, 
than to have sinful-self crucified. 

Oh, sin is that mark at which all 
the arrows of Divine vengeance 
are shot! 

Were it not for sin--
death would never have had a 
beginning. And were it not for death--
sin would never have an ending. 

Man began to be sorrowful, 
when he began to be sinful. 
The wind of our lusts, blows 
out the candle of our lives. 
If man had nothing to do with 
sin, death would have nothing 
to do with man.

Oh, did sin bring sorrow into 
the world?  Oh, then--
let sorrow carry sin out of the world. 

Of all evils--
sin is the great evil. 

"The wages of sin is death." 
Romans 6:23

Oh, sin is worse than punishment, 
banishment and imprisonment. 

Sin kills both body and soul:
  it throws the body into cold 
  earth rotting, and the soul 
into the hot Hell burning!
