Shai Linne Atonement Q&a
Verse 1
Who is God? God is the universe’s Creator And Sustainer plus the only Savior, there is no one greater He triune, holy, omnipotent, omniscient, absolute Loving, sovereign and righteous are a few of His attributes How do we know this? Well, we know this from the Bible Where God has revealed Himself- anything else is just an idol What’s the Bible about? Man’s complete ruin in sin And what God has done in Christ to bring us to Him again What is sin? Sin is the breaking of God’s law Plus our condition, which means from birth we all got flaws What’s the result? The result is by nature we’re God’s enemies And must pay the penalty unless God provides the remedy What the remedy? The remedy is the cross of Christ Where He suffered all the strikes for the lawless type I’ve been rescued by the Lamb, I’m convinced that He’s risen And blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven!
(Chorus)
Just fall back, and with the eyes of faith Behold the beauty of surprising grace Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied
Just fall back- there’s an atonement now The cross of Christ is holy ground Because the Lamb has died, third day He had to rise He’s magnified- God’s wrath is satisfied
Verse 2
Regeneration- the Holy Spirit’s true work in His love To the elect, who receive new birth from above Expiation- expiation means God’s removed my filthiness The old testament type was the goat into the wilderness Redemption- we’ve been freed from slavery to sin And His very own blood is the price He paid, my friend Propitiation- Propitiation means since the Lamb has died His work is finished- God’s wrath is satisfied Adoption- adoption means God is now my Father I got the hottest Poppa and by the Spirit holler Abba Reconciliation means there’s no more enmity God is now a friend to me, we’re no longer enemies Justification- God declares us righteous Sanctification- we’re being made into His likeness Glorification- that’s what happens at the finish When God conforms believers perfectly to Christ’s image!
(Chorus)
Verse 3
God’s grace is magnificent, He slayed His innocent Son- through faith and repentance we get the benefits What is faith? Faith is a gift from God- when we receive this We trust and treasure the person and finished work of Jesus Repentance? Repentance is turning from your sin And trusting Christ as the Spirit cleanses you within What is grace? Oh, grace is unmerited favor Our inheritance major ‘cause we cherish the Savior Right, and if I may quote again, we were doomed with Satan But believers get Jesus’ righteousness through imputation Imputation? God takes Jesus’ righteousness amount Through faith He credits it into the Christian’s account Anything else? Well, I guess this overview must suffice But none of this is possible apart from union with Christ And finally, once you know the ways of the Lord than the only thing that you can say is Soli Deo Gloria!
(Chorus)
