Matthew 12:33: Are words the proof of sin forgiven

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Are words the proof of sin forgiven?
Then Satan might return to heaven,
And every Antinomian liar
Escape that everlasting fire:
His faith the pardon'd sinner s/i07as,
While after holiness he goes.
And loves throughout his life to' express
The genuine fruits of righteousness.
