POETRY AND PROSE
A BRAND NEW NATURE
This new life in Christ is not merely a middle-of-the-road state arising out of the forgiveness of sin; it is a rolling away of the stone covering our hearts, and a quickening of our spirits by a positive implantation of Christ’s righteousness. By it, He has enlightened our minds, changed our wills, and developed within us a brand new nature.
The fullness of salvation has come to us because Christ has risen from the dead. This makes us feel like singing all the day, for we know our faith is not in vain, and we are no longer in our sins.
Shout with songs of joy and love
Be filled with gratitude for your life
For Christ has given all His own
To end your pain and earthly strife.
Learn from Him true suffering
And remember the Father's will
That you be returned to His bosom
And rendered redeemed as you are sealed ...
With His Spirit of Holiness.
