God has exalted Christ Jesus with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance unto Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 5:31.
Think not, what reason have I to repent! I am no murderer or robber; for thou art both. By thy sins thou hast murdered the Son of God, and by thy pride robbed God of his own. Therefore, if thy old heart is not changed yet into a new one, and thou feelest some uneasiness on account of thine eternal salvation, great care is to be taken not to mistake it for temptations of the devil; but believe me, that it is the work of Christ, who awakes thee, and offers thee repentance, and will make thee quite another man. “He stands at the door and knocks; and if any man will hear his voice and open the door, he will come in to him and sup with him.” Revelation 3:20.
Now Christ will every want supply,
And fill our hearts with peace;
He gives by covenant and by oath,
The riches of his grace.
Our heart, that flinty stubborn thing,
That terrors cannot move,
That fears no threatenings of his wrath,
Shall be dissolved by love.
There shall his sacred spirit dwell,
And deep engrave his law,
And every motion of our souls.
To swift obedience draw.
Thus will he pour salvation down.
And we shall render praise;
We the dear people of his love,
And he our God of grace.
