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)
2
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)
3
And grace it is — free grace — 
 
Which keeps us on the road,
 
Till we behold the Savior’s face,
 
And city of our God.
