185. THE THING MY GOD DOTH HATE

1. The thing my God doth hate

That I no more may do,

Thy creature, Lord, again create,

And all my soul renew.

2. My soul shall then, like Thine,

Abhor the thing unclean,

And, sanctified by love divine,

For ever cease from sin.

3. That blessed law of Thine,

Jesus, to me impart;

The Spirit’s law of life divine,

O write it in my heart!

4. Implant it deep within,

Whence it may ne’er remove,

The law of liberty from sin,

The perfect law of love.

5. Thy nature be my law,

Thy spotless sanctity,

And sweetly every moment draw

My happy soul to Thee.

6. Soul of my life remain!

Who didst for all fulfil,

In me, O Lord, fulfil again

Thy heavenly Father’s will

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
