Why should I worry, doubt and fear

(a) Freely by God’s Grace through the Redemption in Christ Jesus

Romans 3:24 says, “Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption in Christ Jesus. ” Here we see that we are justified freely by God’s grace. Grace is something freely given of God or done by God, and it is the expression and manifestation of God’s love. By His grace God has freely justified us. Hence, justification is a free gift.

God’s righteousness has been shown to the New Testament saints in His justifying them because Christ has paid the price for our sins and has accomplished the full redemption to meet all of God’s requirements. Because of Christ’s redemption, God, in order for Him to be just, must justify us. On God’s side justification is by His righteousness; on our side justification is by His free grace as compared with justification by the work of the law. To be justified by the work of the law we need to work, but to be justified by the redemption in Christ there is no need of our work, for it is freely given by His grace. We do not deserve it, but God is bound by His righteousness to justify us because of the redemption of Christ, which meets all His requirements.

THE CONCLUSION OF
THE NEW TESTAMENT
MESSAGE 128
THE BELIEVERS—THEIR PRESENT (LSM)

This hymn is so profound and has given me a fresh appreciation and vision of redemption and propitiation. Thank you Lord the price of sin has fully been paid! What we suffer can be used to make up the lack in the afflictions, in the Body, which we must fill up on our part. This is not to be confused with judgment because the Son has been judged already, but that of a glorious gaining and contribution. That we may mature and have our inward parts saturated with Christ as the element of Life.

Col. 1:24 I now rejoice in my sufferings on your behalf and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His Body, which is the church.

What a wonderful hymn we praise You Lord!

Where can I get the piano music that is being played? It is a beautiful arrangement.

Hallelujah thank you Jesus

beautiful song and lyrics thank you for sharing

Beautiful song.

Why should I worry, doubt and fear? Lord Jesus has done everything for me. Everything is accomplished, all is done, I praise You Lord Jesus. You are sufficient for me.

Augustus Montague Toplady was born at Farnham, Surrey, England, November 4, 1740. His father Major Richard Toplady was killed in the siege of Carthagena, Colombia, South America while Augustus was still an infant. His mother’s maiden name was Catharine Bate. His parents had been married on December 21, 1737. Their first child died in infancy so Augustus was their second son. Augustus was a bright student attending Westminster School and at a young age helped his mother settle matters of an estate in Ireland. While visiting a place named Codymain he heard a man preach the gospel. In 1768 Toplady recounted the incident; the preaching was on Ephesians 2:13. “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. ” He recounts, “By the grace of God, under the ministry of that dear messenger (Mr. Morris) and under that sermon, I was, I trust brought nigh by the blood of Christ, in August 1756. Strange that I, who had so long sat under the means of grace in England should be brought near to God in an obscure part of Ireland, amidst a handful of God’s people, met together in a barn, and under the ministry of one who could hardly spell his name.... the excellency of such power must be of God, and cannot be of man. ”

Between the ages of 15 and 18 he wrote some poems. He entered the ministry June 6, 1762 at Trinity Church, Dublin. In 1768 he began laboring in Broad Hembury, Devonshire and continued there until his death.

Augustus was a frail and sickly man. The moisture in the cold air of Devonshire no doubt added to his sickness of tuberculosis. He spent time in London towards the end of his life and gave his last sermon there. On April 19, 1778, he attempted to give a sermon but his voice was so hoarse that after reading Isaiah 26:19 he had to step down from the pulpit. He did, however, preach four more times. He was 38 when he went on to be with the Lord on August 11, 1778. It is said that “his death-couch seemed flooded with the sunbeams of glory-land. He said with a shining countenance ‘I cannot tell the comforts I feel in my soul; they are past expression. The consolations of God are so abundant, that He leaves me nothing to pray for; my prayers are all converted to praise! I enjoy heaven already in my soul’. ”

Other of his hymns that are found in this hymnal are: 292, 312, and the most famous of all 1058.

Praise You Lord You have done it all.

Most precious these words to my soul.

This song was written by August M. Toplady. It was then translated into Chinese and then translated from Chinese back into English. The version in "Hymns" is a translation of a translation. The original lyrics are:

From whence this fear and unbelief?
Hath not the Father put to grief
His spotless Son for me?
And will the righteous Judge of men
Condemn me for that debt of sin
Which, Lord, was charged on Thee?
Complete atonement Thou hast made,
And to the utmost Thou hast paid
Whate'er Thy people owed;
How then can wrath on me take place,
If sheltered in Thy righteousness,
And sprinkled with Thy blood?
If thou hast my discharge procured,
And freely in my room endured
The whole of wrath divine;
Payment God cannot twice demand,
First at my bleeding Surety's hand,
And then again at mine.
Turn then, my soul, unto thy rest!
The merits of thy great High Priest
Have bought thy liberty;
Trust in His efficacious blood,
Nor fear thy banishment from God,
Since Jesus died for thee.
