253. Since Christ and We Are One

S.M.
by P. Doddridge
1
Since Christ and we are one,
 
What room for doubt or fear?
 
He sits upon the Father’s throne,
 
And we are in Him there.
“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.” (Ephesians 5:31-32)
“And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.” (Luke 12:29)
“And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.” (Hebrews 8:11)
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3)

The Spirit doth unite
 
Our souls to Him our Head,
 
And forms us to His image bright
 
While in His steps we tread.
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” (Romans 8:29)
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.” (1 Peter 2:21)

And grace it is — free grace — 
 
Which keeps us on the road,
 
Till we behold the Savior’s face,
 
And city of our God.
“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:24)
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 24)
“And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.” (Revelation 22:4)
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)
“And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.” (Revelation 21:10)
“And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 22:5)
