Being Saved in His Life

NS429
1
Through God’s dispensing, abundance of grace,
Christ’s saving life will reign and death displace;
God’s holy nature, our life sanctifies,
His saving life soon, our life glorifies,
His saving life soon, our life glorifies...
  (our life, glorifies.)
2
The law of life from our spirit within,
Saves us from death and the bondage of sin;
Spontaneously working, from slavery freed,
His divine life is forever increased,
His divine life is forever increased...
  (forever increased.)
3
The divine Trinity spreads through our soul,
To saturate our whole being, life’s goal;
We become members, the Body of Christ,
Built up together by Christ’s saving life,
Built up together by Christ’s saving life...
  (by Christ’s saving life.)
4
Christ’s saving life when expressed in each town,
Strengthens the saints causing grace to abound;
And by the reigning in life every church
Is blent together, and Satan is crushed,
Is blent together and Satan is crushed...
  (and Satan is crushed.)

This lovely hymn accurately depicts the normal Christian life. By enjoying the law of the Spirit of life mentioned in Romans 8:2 saints are built up together which issues in chapter 16.

Here Paul greets twenty-five dear saints, and all the churches of Christ built up and expressing Christ in various localities.
