The Horrid Load of All My
Guilt — Don
Fortner
(Tune: #46 — O For A Thousand Tongues — CM)
1.
The horrid load of all my guilt
Was on my Savior laid.
He loved me so that, for my life,
My sin His own He made!
2.
Forsaken, there, by God in death,
His heart was fixed on me!
His love embraced my guilty soul,
When nailed to the tree!
3.
For me He took the cup of wrath,
And drank damnation dry!
His love sustained His soul in death, —
That I might never die!
4.
Oh, love amazing! love beyond
The reach of human thought!
That love shall be my endless song,
Which my salvation bought!
Time Will Tell — Pastor Tommy Robins
Time is really a hard thing
to define. I suppose the simplest way, for me at least, is this - it is the
beginning of all things and the end of all things. This I do know - God created
it and someday there will be time no longer (Rev. 10:5-6). In the Bible “time”
is mentioned in 563 scriptures, and in every one we see that God is in control
of each event in “time”. In God’s workings in Providence He uses time to reveal
many things. There have been many who professed to believe on Christ, love the
gospel and were seemingly committed to Him and His work, but in time their
profession proved to be a charade. On the other hand there have been those that
persevered in faith unto eternal glory, such as Paul (2Tim. 4:7). “I have
fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I
have kept the faith.” I wonder what time will reveal concerning us? Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to
make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never
fall” (2 Pet.

If you trust Christ, the God of Glory, who made his dear Son to be sin for you, has made you the very righteousness of God in him! And he would have you to reckon it so.
Perhaps you think, “Bro. Don, I’d give anything to know that what you have said is true. But, surely we cannot carry those words, ‘made the righteousness of God in him,’ that far. Does the Word of God really warrant such full, confident assurance of absolute righteousness before God?”
I’m glad you asked. I want you to see and see clearly that this is precisely the doctrine of Holy Scripture. — In Christ we are the righteousness of God. Our God has made us to become the righteousness of God in his Son. And that righteousness is a righteousness that can never be soiled, tainted, or corrupted in any way, much less lost. Let me show you.
Read Jeremiah 23:5-6 and Jeremiah 33:15-16. In both places Jeremiah is describing for us this blessed gospel day in which the Branch of Righteousness has grown up unto David and his seed. That Branch is Christ. And that David is Christ our King. Our David is now seated on his throne in glory, having grown up righteousness, by bringing in everlasting righteousness. He now executes judgment and justice throughout the earth in the salvation of his people by the gospel. That is what the Lord our God declares in these two passages.
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and
shall execute judgment and justice in the earth” (Jer. 23:5).
“In those days, and at that time, will I cause the
Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment
and righteousness in the land” (Jer. 33:15).
“In his days
“In those days shall
Every
word in these four verses is translated with exact accuracy. This is what the
Lord God tells us about the work of Christ in this day of grace in which we
live. — Judah, the tribe of God’s choice, shall be saved. —

Read 2nd
Corinthians
According to the Book of God, it is the life obedience of Christ that constitutes that righteousness with which we are clothed and made to become before God. His death washed away our sins, and his life covers us from head to foot. His death was the sacrifice to God, and his life is the gift to man, by which all God’s elect have satisfied the demands of the law.
Only in this way is it possible for the law to be honored and our souls accepted by God. Many who appear to be perfectly clear about the merits of Christ’s death do not seem to understand the merits of his life. Remember, from the moment that our blessed Savior broke his mother’s womb, until the hour that he ascended up on high, he was at work for his people. From the moment that he was seen in Mary’s arms, until the moment that he was in the arms of death, when “he bowed his head and gave up the ghost,” he was performing the work of our salvation.
The Lord Jesus Christ completed
the work of his obedience in his life, and said to his Father, “I have
finished the work which thou gavest me to do” (John 17:4). Then he finished
the work of his atonement in his death. And, knowing that all things were
accomplished, he cried, “It is finished” (John
That is the message that is set before
us in 2nd Corinthians 5:21. The Lord Jesus Christ is our only
righteousness, and it is our joy to confess that he is. — “Of him are ye in
Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and
sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that
glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” (1 Cor.
