[Are words the proof of sin forgiven?]

The tree is known by his fruit. —xii. 33.

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 shows,
While after holiness he goes,
And loves throughout his life to' express
The genuine fruits of righteousness.
