Colossians 2:3. "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
HIDDEN TREASURE. Who would have known so much blessing could come; Through faith in an unseen Person. The more we hear, the more we understand, And the better it is then when we first heard them. The Father and the Son both reveal to us, Things we never knew or even heard of before. And from that treasure-house of God's wisdom and knowledge, Reveals to us some of what is in the future in store.
From the depth of His wisdom, He unfolds to me, The basis of salvation by grace alone. Grace in order to be truly grace that saves, Comes as a gift, not as something we earn. It involves substitution, not some man-made institution, As the reason God can forgive our sins legally.
He doesn't ignore our sin in any way, But through a perfect substitute can justify us freely.
Because the riches of His grace and full assurance of faith, The knowledge of God's work has been made known to me. The Holy Spirit within reveals what has been, And then reveals what God intends to be. Now out from the darkness of uncertainty, Comes understanding and the revelation of divine light. From the hidden treasures of God's storehouse, understanding comes, That makes this new life I have so bright.
It is a great relief when we can plainly see, God is satisfied, there is nothing we can do To make ourselves right in His perfect sight; Christ accomplished redemption, and that work is through. When that truth we believe and the Savior we receive, And we understand our salvation is an accomplished fact. Then to any attempts by our fleshly bents, There is found no basis for human efforts or acts.
When into the light comes these hidden treasures, We find the real foundation for our joy. And the feeble attempts to add to God's work, Does nothing but our new nature annoy. Our eyes are opened by faith that reveals God's grace, And we walk into new life with great relief. Anything others say that from grace takes away, We reject as some false form of belief.
"I thank Thee, Father God, for bringing into the light of Thy Word, the treasures of Thy plan and way of salvation. I appreciate so much, the Holy Spirit opening up these to me, by imparting the knowledge necessary to grasp and understand what has already been done for us. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
