Let's Kill Sin (Timothy Brindle) - music

I'd buy the album and pass it out to someone. Absolute sanctification is impossible, but putting to death the deeds of the flesh is not only commanded and promised but performed by God by faith in His Son. The blood earned the Spirit, who by faith works in us powerfully to do good works, putting away the deeds of the flesh to glorify the Son who loves and cleanses us continually.  T. Brindle hit it on this album.

Atonement Q and A (written by shai linne)

Verse 1

Who is God? God is the universe’s Creator

And Sustainer plus the only Savior, there is no one greater

He triune, holy, omnipotent, omniscient, absolute

Loving, sovereign and righteous are a few of His attributes

How do we know this? Well, we know this from the Bible

Where God has revealed Himself- anything else is just an idol

What’s the Bible about? Man’s 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 God’s law

Plus our condition, which means from birth we all got flaws

What’s the result? The result is by nature we’re God’s 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

He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied

Just fall back- there’s an atonement now

The cross of Christ is holy ground

Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise

He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied

Verse 2

Regeneration- the Holy Spirit’s true work in His love

To the elect, who receive new birth from above

Expiation- expiation means God’s removed my filthiness

The old testament type was the goat into the wilderness

Redemption- we’ve 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- God’s wrath is satisfied

Adoption- adoption means God is now my Father

I got the hottest Poppa and by the Spirit holler Abba

Reconciliation means there’s no more enmity

God is now a friend to me, we’re no longer enemies

Justification- God declares us righteous

Sanctification- we’re being made into His likeness

Glorification- that’s what happens at the finish

When God conforms believers perfectly to Christ’s image!

Chorus

Verse 3

God’s 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 Christian’s 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!

Chorus

Only Believe (Hymn)

(Tune: O Sacred Head Once Wounded)

Mt Pride must be forsaken, The valley must be filled
The heart daily be broken, The humble taught God’s will!
The valley of “I’m nothing”, Is needful to the saint
For it promotes the glory, Of all I have in Christ

In self I am a sinner, In Christ I am redeemed
In self I ought be punished, In Christ forgiveness reigns
In self I am unworthy, In Christ I’m fit to bless!
In self I have no gospel, In Christ I have pure rest.

No need to look within me, No reason I must fear
The Lamb has fully honored, His God so honor Him.
By Him who is exalted, All life and peace is yours
He says “only believe” it, And walk in it some more.

Mercy is Welcome News Indeed (Hymn by J. Hart)

Mercy is welcome news indeed

To those that guilty stand;

Wretches, that feel what help they need,

Will bless the helping hand.



We all have sinned against our God,

Exception none can boast;

But he that feels the heaviest load

Will prize forgiveness most.



No reckoning can we rightly keep,

For who the sums can know?

Some souls are fifty pieces deep,

And some five hundred owe.



But let our debts be what they may,

However great or small,

As soon as we have naught to pay,

Our Lord forgives us all.



'Tis perfect poverty alone

That sets the soul at large;

While we can call one mite our own,

We have no full discharge.

Joseph Hart – 1759

Sinners, Singing, and Pardon

"Oh Lord, I am a sinner, and thou knowest it I have tried to make myself better, but I cannot. If there is any way left in which thou canst save me, do thou save me; if not, I must be damned, for I cannot try any more, nor won't."

William Huntington's prayer near time of salvation.

LORD my voice by nature is harsh and untunable and it is vain to lavish any art to better it Can my singing of psalms be pleasing to thy ears which is unpleasant to my own yet though I cannot chant with the nightingale or chirp with the blackbird I had rather chatter with the swallow Isaiah xxxviii 14 yea rather croak with the raven than be altogether silent Hadst thou given me a better voice I would have praised thee with a better voice Now what my music wants in sweetness let it have in sense singing praises with understanding Yea Lord create in me a new heart therein to make melody Ephes v 19 and I will be contented with my old voice until in thy due time being admitted into the choir of heaven I have another more harmonious bestowed upon me

The wit and wisdom of Thomas Fuller

I am sometimes downright staggered at the exceeding riches of his grace. How Christ can go on pardoning day after day, and hour after hour; sometimes I feel almost afraid to ask, for shame. A. L. Newton
