"IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST I GLORY" A New Hymn on Galatians 6:14

So, what is the cross all about? And what does it mean to "GLORY IN THE CROSS"? The cross is a declaration that God has fully accomplished everything He set out to do. He has saved His people from their sin forever more. How? He took their place. The sin of God's elect people were laid on the LORD JESUS Christ. He suffered eternal hell on their behalf, being guilty in their place. And those chosen sinners take His place before God - perfectly just, perfectly righteous, without sin - the greatest "transfer of wealth" the world has ever known!

Did Christ die "for all"? Yes! ALL that the Father had given to the Son before the world began are recipients of the gift of eternal life in the forgiveness of sin, as John 6:37 declares. The LORD Jesus came "to save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21), and He accomplished this great work with infinite precision and perfection. And so, every sinner, comprehending that they have been cleansed and purchased by the precious blood of the Lamb of God, will "GLORY IN THE CROSS". Every true believer, every blood-bought sinner, every soul saved from eternal hell and death receives this understanding by divine revelation of the Word by the Spirit of God. The LORD makes them to know, to surely know, that they have received a new heart and a new nature. Instead of hating and resenting God their Maker, they love and cherish God their Saviour. Yes, Galatians 6:14 is incomprehensibly vast! But this simple song is a small tribute to my Saviour. Enjoy the music!
