ROMANS 8:32. “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things.” FREELY GIVE US. God knew before, He was not unaware; of the awful load that He must bear; in order that He might take us there – to be with Him. It was His only Son He gave; not sparing Him that He might save; our souls from hell beyond the grave – that we might live. It was His Son, there was no other; the only begotten of the Father; that in a coming day He would gather – the elect of God. From heaven God sent Him from His side; to earth where He might here abide; it was down here He that lived and died – as a man. A man He was, that is really true; even before He came, He already knew; it was necessary that He would show – God’s love to men. By words and deeds, He made it plain; new life is there for us to obtain; it becomes ours when we are born again – by the Holy Spirit. The cost was high, it was the price of blood; with no remission, we could not see God; Christ’s cross-death revealed to us in God’s Word – says it was for me. God never spared His only Son; He delivered Him for me undone; By dying for me, He did atone – for all my sins. What Christ did bear, I will never know; but this is true, I’ll not be in hell below; because His death was for me, means I will go – to heaven above. Grace now to me is a charming sound; it has separated me from the world around; and allows me to send out the Gospel sound – Christ died for me. I am free to live, for Christ has died; the claims of God are all satisfied; and now eternally I will abide – with my Lord forever. It is not because I deserve the least; but because God gave His dearest and best; and in His love I safely trust - till Christ shall come. And more beside; God has freely given; relief from guilt because I am forgiven; and deep inside, now from all men, hidden – is the Holy Spirit. He, who convicted me of my sin; and by His power made me born again; and has fitted me to live in heaven – gives power to live. I find it true, the greatest joy of earth; is to live for God since my new birth; has given a nature that enjoys the truth – and wants to pass it on. All things are mine because God’s own Son; by His death on the cross when He died alone; now has made me accepted and I can own – Jesus is my Lord. When Jesus calls, and His face I see; I will thank Him then, and eternally; for all things He purchased when He set me free – to be God’s child.
“I praise Thee, O gracious God, for all that Christ is to Thee and has done for me. I am so unworthy of the burden of my sin to be borne by Him on the cross. I am, and will be for ever grateful, that Thou didst not spare Thy Son. It is true that “This silences each rising fear, and bids the hard thought disappear.” I worship Thee in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
