158. COME BELIEVING
1. Once again the Gospel message,
From the Saviour you have heard;
Will you heed the invitation?
Will you turn and seek the Lord?
Chorus:
Come believing! Come believing!
Come to Jesus! Look and live!
Come believing! Come believing!
Come to Jesus! Look and live!
2. Many summers you have wasted,
Ripen’d harvests you have seen;
Winter snows by Spring have melted:
Yet you linger in your sin.
3. Jesus for your choice is waiting;
Tarry not: at once decide!
While the spirit now is striving,
Yield, and seek the Saviour’s side.
4. Cease of fitness to be thinking;
Do not longer try to feel!
It is trusting, and not feeling;
That will give the spirit’s seal.
5. Let your will to God be given,
Trust in Christ’s atoning blood;
Look to Jesus now in heaven,
Rest on His unchanging word.
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)
