OH! the blessedness of knowing that a full, free, perfect and everlasting salvation is mine! mine now! mine by God's appointment! for the shed blood of Christ is to every one free. (See 2 Cor. 5:1515And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. (2 Corinthians 5:15); 2 Peter 3:99The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9).) The poorer the wretch the welcomer he! Its power is almighty—its virtue divine, to cleanse souls completely though filthy as mine.
'My chains are snapt! the bonds of sin are broken!
And I am free:
Oh, let the triumphs of His grace be spoken
Who died for me!
O death and hell! I cannot dread your power:
THE DEBT IS PAID.1
On Jesus, in that dark and dreadful hour,
My guilt was laid.
Yes, Jesus bore it! bore, in love unbounded,
What none can. know:
He died—but then revived, and so confounded
The awful foe.
He's now up there! proclaim the joyful story,
THE LORD 's ON HIGH
And I in Him am raised to endless glory,
And ne'er can die!'
 
1. For the proof of which read with care the whole of the Spirit's testimony to the accomplished work of Christ, beginning at Acts 2 to the end of the Epistles, and thus rightly divide the word of truth― according to the Apostle's suggestion to 2 Tim. 2:1515Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15).
