Jesus Paid It Some?

Someone once wrote a list of "Songs of the Lukewarm Church." They took the titles of good doctrinal hymns of the past & re-wrote them for the modern church. For example (correct title is in parenthesis):

• A Comfy Mattress Is Our God (A Mighty Fortress Is Our God)
• Take My Wife and Let Me Be (Take My Life and Let It Be)
• Pillow of Ages, Fluffed for Me (Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me)
• Above Average is Thy Faithfulness (Great is Thy Faithfulness)
• I Surrender Some (I Surrender All)

Kind of funny, but kind of sad given the lack of zeal we see around us, or sometimes in ourselves.

There's another good hymn I was thinking of, one that flies in the face of the false teaching that Jesus has not done everything required to secure one's salvation. As a Roman Catholic, I was taught that Jesus indeed had done something significant: His death on the cross opened the door to Heaven, if I can say it that way, but we have to do our part to make it in...that salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ is damnable heresy. Of course, our part is a whole bunch of good religious works, and even then the poor Catholic soul has no assurance of salvation.

No, the hymn I am thinking of is not "Jesus Paid it Some", it is...

JESUS PAID IT ALL!

So it was with this in mind on Saturday, June 27th, that God gave me a place to stand and speak publicly of the so-great salvation we have, by grace alone through faith alone on the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ alone.
