How do we know this? Well, we know this from the Bible where God has revealed Himself- anything else is just an idol.
Whats the Bible about? Mans complete ruin in sin and what God has done in Christ to bring us to Him again.
What is sin? Sin is the breaking of Gods law plus our condition, which means from birth we all got flaws.
Whats the result? The result is by nature were Gods enemies and must pay the penalty unless God provides the remedy.
What the remedy? The remedy is the cross of Christ where He suffered all the strikes for the lawless type. I’ve been rescued by the Lamb, I’m convinced that He’s risen and blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven!
Chorus
Just fall back, and with the eyes of faith
Behold the beauty of surprising grace
Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise
Hes magnified- Gods wrath is satisfied
Just fall back- theres an atonement now
The cross of Christ is holy ground
Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise
Hes magnified- Gods wrath is satisfied
Regeneration- the Holy Spirits true work in His love to the elect, who receive new birth from above.
Expiation- expiation means Gods removed my filthiness the old testament type was the goat into the wilderness.
Redemption- weve been freed from slavery to sin and His very own blood is the price He paid, my friend.
Propitiation- Propitiation means since the Lamb has died His work is finished- Gods wrath is satisfied
Adoption- adoption means God is now my Father, I got the hottest Poppa and by the Spirit holler Abba
Reconciliation means theres no more enmity, God is now a friend to me, were no longer enemies.
Justification- God declares us righteous.
Sanctification- were being made into His likeness.
Glorification- thats what happens at the finish when God conforms believers perfectly to Christ’s image!
Verse 3
Gods grace is magnificent, He slayed His innocent Son- through faith and repentance we get the benefits.
What is faith? Faith is a gift from God- when we receive this we trust and treasure the person and finished work of Jesus.
Repentance? Repentance is turning from your sin and trusting Christ as the Spirit cleanses you within.
What is grace? Oh, grace is unmerited favor our inheritance major cause we cherish the Savior!
Right, and if I may quote again, we were doomed with Satan but believers get Jesus righteousness through imputation.
Imputation? God takes Jesus righteousness amount through faith He credits it into the Christians account.
Anything else? Well, I guess this overview must suffice but none of this is possible apart from union with Christ. And finally, once you know the ways of the Lord than the only thing that you can say is Soli Deo Gloria!
