In our Lord Jesus Christ dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we are complete in him! The more quickly this matter is settled and we know indeed that Christ is all we need to make us righteous and accepted before God, the Father, the sooner we will enjoy the rest, peace, and assurance promised to his own. Listen well, now!! Most of God's elect are brought to Christ earlier in life than the thief on the cross; but all are redeemed and made righteous exactly as he was; by the sovereign, free grace of God in Christ Jesus, plus nothing, minus nothing. Note this poem by John Newton:
“Strange and mysterious is my life;
What opposites I feel within!
A stable peace, a constant strife,
The rule of grace, the power of sin.
Too often I am captive led,
Yet daily triumph in my Head.”
Henry Mahan
