Chapter 111
:
Life Only In Christ
1. WHAT is the wages of
sin?
"The wages of sin is death."
Rom. 6:23.
2. Through whom only is
there salvation from sin?
"Neither is there salvation in any
other: for there is none other name under
.heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved." Acts 4:12.
NOTE.-If men do not die, why should Christ
die to save them from death? And what need
of the resurrection and the second advent?
3. Why did God send His
only begotten Son to this world?
"That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have
everlasting life." John 3:16.
4. What does Christ
declare Himself to be?
"I am the way, the truth, and the
life." John 14:6.
5. What does He say He
gives to those who follow Him?
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know
them, and they follow Me: and I give unto
them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of
My hand." John 10:27,28.
6. Upon what is the
possession of this life conditioned?
"Except ye eat the flesh of the
Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no
life in you." John 6:53.
7. In whom is the life
eternal?
"And this is the record, that God
hath given to us eternal life, and this life
is in His Son." 1 John 5:11.
8. Who only have this
life?
"He that hath the Son hath life;
and he that hath not the Son of God hath not
life." Verse 12. "He that heareth My word,
and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto
life." John 5:24.
9. What is Christ
therefore fittingly called?
"When Christ, who is our life,
shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him
in glory." Col. 3:4.
THERE Is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
The
dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Thou
dying Lamb! Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Are saved, to sin no more.
E'er
since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared,
Unworthy though I be,
For me a blood-bought, free reward-
Eternal life for me.
There in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stam'ring tongue
Is ransomed from the grave.
