6: The Mystery of the Gospel – Singing with Inspiration
The book of Ephesians does show us “How to Follow Jesus in Trying Times”:
Hymn 623 – I Will Follow Thee, My Saviour so that our actions will always speak louder than our words.
With all that Paul writes to us in Ephesians, we are encouraged to say
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272 so that we may live our lives as Jesus would have us do.
Being a prisoner in Rome, Paul found “there is a deeper, divine purpose being worked out in his life”:
Hymn 316 – Live Out Thy Life Within Me all
Because He Live – Hymn 526 I can face tomorrow.
Monday shows God’s abundant grace:
Amazing Grace – Hymn 108, Marvelous Grace – Hymn 109 and
God Of Grace And God Of Glory – Hymn 607. With this wonderful grace in hand, we must go forth and
The Son Of God Proclaim – Hymn 411 (Monday).
It is revealed on Tuesday that
The Church Has One Foundation – Hymn 348 so let us
Rise Up, O Church Of God – Hymn 615 knowing that I am
Chief Of Sinners – Hymn 295 just as Paul also claimed to be.
“the immensity of the love of Christ” Ephesians 3:19 is also found in
Hymn 79 – O Love Of God, How Strong And True,
Hymn 148 – O Love, How Deep, How Broad and
Hymn 76 – O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go.
Just as Paul gives praise to God (Thursday) in his prison cell we may also in
Hymn 11 – The God Of Abraham Praise,
Hymn 1 – Praise To The Lord¸
Hymn 4 – Praise, My Soul, The King Of Heaven,
Hymn 14 – Let Us Praise The Name Of The Lord,
Hymn 20 – O Praise Ye The Lord, and more hymns
25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 37, 53, 70, 105, 106, 249, to add just a few.
So, dear people, be encouraged to go forward and
“Lift up the trumpet and loud let it ring, Jesus IS coming again” – Hymn 213.
