CALL TO WORSHIP

(Tune: Doxology)

Come, let us sing the song of songs,
The glory which to Christ belongs;
The hosts of Heav’n began the strain,
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain.”

Slain to redeem us by His blood,
And makes us kings and priest to God;
To cleanse from ev’ry sinful stain,
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain.”

Among a thousand hearts and songs,
His sacred name fills all our tongues;
All pow’r in Heav’n and earth proclaim,
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain.”

Long as I live and when I die,
This song of songs shall be my cry;
And while in Heav’n with Him I reign,
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain.”

The eternal security of a sinner saved by grace through our Lord Jesus
Christ and based upon His righteousness imputed alone is not a license for us
to promote and encourage sin and disobedience. It is the highest and most
powerful encouragement for us to promote godliness and obedience to God in
grace, love, and gratitude. – Pastor Bill Parker

THE BLOOD OF CHRIST WAS ENOUGH

What does the Bible say about the death of the Lord Jesus Christ?

1. His death was eternally appointed. He was the spotless Lamb “Who

verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world” (1 Peter 1:20).

2. His death was divinely brought about. “It pleased the LORD to

bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief; when Thou shalt make His soul an

offering for sin…” (Isaiah 53:10).

3. His death satisfied infinite justice enabling God to be “a just God and

4. His death was substitutionary. “Christ loved the church and gave

Himself for it” (Ephesians 5:25).

5. His death was the ransom price for His captive people. “He obtained

eternal redemption for us” (Hebrews 9:12).

6. His death put away the sins of those for whom He died. “When He

had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of God”

7. His death restored chosen sinners back to God. “And all things are of

God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians

The death of Christ appeased a holy God; the blood of Christ was

enough. His substitutionary, justice-satisfying death does not wait upon nor

need the faith of the sinner to make it effectual. All God demanded for the

redemption of His people has been accomplished by the Savior. Ransomed

sinners cannot perish; they cannot be condemned because Christ has been

condemned in their stead. Blood-bought sinners will be effectually called to

believe Christ. They will be made willing to come to Him in the day of His

power (Psalm 110:3), to be saved solely by His blood and righteousness.
