THE BLOOD OF JUSTIFICATION
The apostle Paul wrote, “Much more then, having been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” (Romans 5:9 NKJV) What a positive, comforting thing it is to hear “we shall be saved from wrath.” The wrath of God which shall fall upon every sinner outside of Christ shall not fall upon me, not because I don’t deserve it nor because God has decided not to judge my sin, but because it has already fallen upon Christ my Substitute. We shall be saved “through Him.” Simply stated, believers in Christ shall be saved because they have been saved! Our justification through His blood (His life laid down, His cross death) was not only the sum of all our justification before God but is also the source of all our consolation from God. Since God has declared us righteous in Christ and put away our sin by the shedding of His blood, we now “wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” (I Thess. 1:10) Everything is “through Him,” through our Lord Jesus Christ, and this comfort and consolation is received and enjoyed by us through God-given faith. How can a sinner live in this life without fear of the wrath to come? HIM! HIS BLOOD! We believe God and sit in quietness of conscience and mind as those Hebrews sat in their house in Goshen with the blood of the Passover Lamb on their doors as the death angel passed through Egypt. We have been saved so we shall be saved!

Physical or Spiritual?
"For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)" - Hebrews 12:18-21
What an experience is recorded here, yet all this was physical. The mountain, the law, the tabernacle, the priests, and the sacrifices were all physical. We see all the blood of all the animals, blood on the hands of the priests, blood on the clothes of the priests, blood on the feet of the priests, yet all was physical. Not one person was ever saved by all this physical activity, physical religion, or by all the spilled blood of animals. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins (Hebrews 10:4). We are never brought to a physical religious experience for our salvation. Most religious experiences begin with "I"; "I" is in the middle; and "I" is at the conclusion.
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things that that of Abel. - Hebrews 12:22-24
When the Lord is pleased to cause His lost sheep to hear the glorious gospel of the Son of God, and the Spirit is pleased to regenerate them, they are brought to a spiritual place - Mt. Zion, to Christ. Not one of these items listed can be taken physically. They are all spiritual, intangible to the flesh, understood only in the Spirit. They are not seen by physical eyes, but by spiritual eyes; not heard with the physical ears, but heard with spiritual ears; not by the natural heart we are born with, but with a new heart given by the Spirit. Not to a physical law, but the spiritual -- written on our hearts. Not by a physical experience, but a new birth from the Spirit of God.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. - John 3:8
The elect are not brought to a physical form or formality, but to a Spiritual God. God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). They are not brought to a fleshly experience, but a spiritual birth. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63). The testimony of a believer, one whom God has blessed with the new birth, is "It was all of Him!"
Norm Wells

A SONG UNTO THE LORD WE SING
O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. Psalm 98:1

Our hearts to Jesus now we bow;
And own Him as our sovereign King.
To sing His praise and lift His name,
His glories to the heavens ring.

Sing all ye chosen of the Lord.
Sing all predestined by His love.
Sing all ye to the Son conformed.
Accepted in the Christ Beloved.

Sing ev’ry sinner saved by grace.
Sing all who trust His blood alone.
Sing like we’ve never sung before;
And make His wonders ever known.

Sing all ye saints who love the Son.
Sing of our Sovereign’s holy throne.
Sing those whose sins He put away;
And rest all hope in Christ alone.

Gary Shepard
