Why should I worry, doubt and fear

If Christ is preached to the extent that He is "appointed" as the Lord, there will not be quietness and dullness but disturbance!

Singing hymns concerning spiritual experience, such as Hymns, #482 and #333, or singing hymns concerning the assurance and joy of salvation, such as Hymns, #297 and #1003, are not fitting for the remembrance of the Lord.

The third line-God's righteousness. This is applicable to (1) those who do not fear God; (2) those who have a feeling toward sin; and (3) those who are saved yet fear that they are not saved. God's righteousness has two aspects. Some people need to see the aspect of God's condemning righteousness, and others need to see the aspect of God's saving righteousness. For those saved ones who fear that they are not saved, we can use 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all un-righteousness," We can use this verse to comfort and establish them. We can also use Romans 1:17: "For the righteousness of God is revealed in [the gospel] out of faith to faith, as it is written, 'But the righteous shall have life and live by faith."' This speaks of the righteousness that saves us. (The Gospel of John stresses God's love, Ephesians stresses God's grace, and Romans stresses God's righteousness.) God's righteousness has already condemned the Lord Jesus and cannot condemn us anymore. Hymns, #1003 says, "Why should I worry, doubt, and fear?" We can use this hymn to establish those who fear that they are not saved.

All debts of sin are paid;
God would not have His claim on two,
First on His Son, my Surety true,
And then upon me laid.
So now I have full peace and rest,
My Savior Christ hath done the best
And set me wholly free;
By His all-efficacious blood
I ne'er could be condemned by God,
For He has died for me!
Hymns, #1003

Now, can God take back this salvation which Christ has purchased? Absolutely not! Since the debt was paid, for God to demand it again from us would be unrighteous. The same righteousness which formerly called for our condemnation now calls for our justification. What powerful security this gives to our salvation! Even a worldly judge would not demand the same fine to be paid twice. Certainly God, the source of all justice and righteousness, cannot do so. As Watchman Nee wrote in a hymn:

For me forgiveness He has gained,
And full acquittal was obtained,
All debts of sin are paid;
God would not have His claim on two,
First on His Son, my Surety true,
And then upon me laid.

Thus, the Bible declares that when God saves us, He shows forth His righteousness (Rom. 1:16-17; 3:25-26).

...Without righteousness, faith has no basis. Thank God that our sins have been forgiven. Thank Him that He will never judge us anymore. As the hymn says:

God would not have His claim on two,
First on His Son, my Surety true,
And then upon me laid.

Our hearts are at rest, for our sins have been judged.
