not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Eph. 2:8 | ||
Christ is allEver possessed of eternal beingRobed in light which knew no dawn Long ere time had its beginning Stood our God with glory crowned There amidst ten-thousand glories Lacking nought and needing none He conceived salvation's story In covenant with His blessed Son Come ye ruined of the fall Christ became our Paschal Lamb Slain before the world's foundation How glorious that eternal plan In the fullness of the appointed hour Came to earth made like a man Bore sin's curse, which was all ours Satisfied the Law's demand Come ye ruined of the fall Not for crimes of His own hand But for the sins of His own people Given Him ere the world began Tho tasted of death's awful ruin When He stooped to salve our fall Yet the grave could not contain Him Who is Lord of life and all Come ye ruined of the fall By the merits of His blood He cries not with useless pleading To bring His ransomed home to God In glories high above the world Our King of kings is dressed Before whom every knee shall bow And every tongue confess Come ye ruined of the fall |
Dear Reader, Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please accept this as a personal letter from myself and on behalf of Grace Chapel Ministries. I am personally aquainted with many of you, and through means of these pages, hope to become aquainted with you all. Our purpose in posting these pages is first and formost to exalt the name of Jesus Christ. That name is a precious name to many and we hope shall be to all who read this message. By the grace of God, we seek to present the gospel story dealing with man's ruin and God's redemption. There is but one true guide in setting forth this proclamation, and that is the Holy Scripture. No man, now living, knows all there is to know about the Bible, so we do not claim infallability. Perhaps from time to time, you shall disagree with something set forth on these pages. We urge you to write to us and let us examine the scriptures together. May we be as the noble Bereans (Acts 17:11), who searched the scriptures daily to see if these things be so. If we are in error, we certainly want to find it out. Perhaps God would use you to help us. Please do not refuse to read our message, because we are of a different denomination than you. God's truth does not change and therefore is pertinent to all men. It is our prayer that God's richest blessings be on you all. May those of you, who believe the gospel, be builded up in the most holy faith. May those of you who now falter at the threshold of faith, be given courage to enter in. And may those of you, who dwell in the darkness of unbelief, be brought into the light! Jesus Christ is the need of every man, woman, boy and girl on this earth. He is the Saviour of sinners, the Bread of the hungry, water to them that thirst, and comfort to all who mourn. |
