Problems with in christ alone lyrics
Romans 5:17 refers to both the abundance of grace and the abundance of righteousness. God's righteousness and God's grace are not two different things.
Hence, we cannot touch the righteousness of God without touching grace. This is the highest and central revelation shown to us in the entire New Testament. Regardless of what subject the Bible touches, it is concerned with the Triune God in His embodiment in three aspects-the Father, the Son, and the Spirit-being manifested as grace consummating in the New Jerusalem. Grace is the manifestation of the Triune God in His embodiment in three aspects-the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Since we are speaking concerning God's righteousness, why do we refer to a hymn on God's grace? My intention, my burden, is to show you that the entire Bible speaks of only one thing-grace, which is God, who is the New Jerusalem. However, whether it is grace or God or the New Jerusalem, actually they are just one. Then what is God? God is the New Jerusalem. What is grace? Grace is actually God Himself. This hymn concerning grace contains expressions that cannot be found in ordinary Christian books. The Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans, chapter 19 ( LSM) We need the grace of God for overcoming in all the details of our daily living. The tongue can never be controlled by us in our own strength. If we can control our tongue, we can reduce ninety percent of our sinfulness. Proverbs speaks repeatedly about the taming of the tongue. It is impossible to control our tongue without grace. Who can control his loose speaking? Some people speak quickly all the time. Then the grace of God will be applied to us, and we will spontaneously become humble. We should not say anything or express any kind of attitude for a short time.
When circumstances arise to cause us to react, we have to tell ourselves to be quiet, be slow, and wait. "All sufficient grace!/Never powerless!" (Hymns, #312). The Lord said, "My grace is sufficient for you" (2 Cor. No one can overcome his temper except by grace. In our Christian living, our daily life, we need the grace. The grace for the believers' living is spoken of in Romans 1:7 and in the beginning of all of Paul's other Epistles except Hebrews. The Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans, chapter 21 ( LSM) If a husband says to his wife, "Dear, you should not give your long face to me so many times every day" the wife may say, "Then you should not come back home so late every day!" Instead of speaking in this corrupt way, the husbands and wives should sing and minister grace to each other. Then the husband can sing another chorus. Perhaps a wife could sing to her husband, "All sufficient grace!/Never powerless!/It is Christ who lives in me,/In His exhaustlessness" (Hymns, #312). Mostly we sing only when we come together. We do not have much experience of teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. We are short in our experience of Christ because we do not sing that much with grace in our hearts. In Colossians 3:16 Paul exhorted the believers in Colossae to sing with grace in their hearts when the word of Christ dwelt in them richly in all wisdom by their teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs.
