GOD’S salvation is not an impractical theory. It is a blessed reality. He who turns to Christ finds satisfaction for his conscience in the work of the cross, where the sin question was fully dealt with. But there is more than this. As he yields himself in loving obedience to the claims of the risen Lord, he finds divine power and all needed grace given him to live practically to the glory of God, and to honor Him in all his ways. Sin no longer holds dominion over the surrendered life.
“Grace taught our wand’ring feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour we meet
While trav’ling home to God.
‘Twas Grace that wrote each name
In God’s eternal book;
‘Twas Grace that gave us to the Lamb,
Who all our burdens took.
Grace saved us from the foe,
Grace taught us how to pray;
And God will ne’er His grace forego,
Till we have won the day.
May grace, free grace, inspire
Our souls with strength divine;
May ev’ry thought to God aspire,
And grace in service shine.
Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone
And well deserves the praise.”
