O Sing Unto the Lord A New Song, All the Earth, Bless His Holy Name- Part 1050

"The mighty God [even] the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty God hath shined ... and the heavens shall declare His righteousness." (Psalms 50:1-6)

"Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. [He that is] our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord [belong] the issues from death." (Psalms 68:18-19)

"By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips, giving thanks to His name." (Hebrews 13:15)

"Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom [be] glory for ever and ever, Amen." (Hebrews 13:21)

Apostle Paul wrote: "Yea, doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord; for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may win Christ ... AND be found in him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the Law, but that which is through faith of Christ -- the righteousness which is of God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death ... I am apprehended of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:8-12)

From the beginning of time and throughout the new testament, Jesus told us -- the book is "written of Me." In the old covenant, we read how God stirred the prophets to proclaim the message of the coming Messiah to the people, the prophesied Christ whose holy blood shed on the cross was destined to secure a new and lasting covenant with us.

"But what saith it? The Word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart; that is, the Word of faith, which we preach -- that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thous shalt be saved -- for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For the scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:8-13)

Yes, the same Lord who created us in the beginning had devised a master plan of salvation so that we -- you and I -- could humbly come to Him knowing that it was He who knew no sin that "poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." (Isaiah 53:12)

"But now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry by how much also He is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises ... for if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second." (Hebrews 8:6)

We have so much to be thankful for. "Surely, He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows, yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But He [was] wounded for our transgressions, [He] was bruised for our iniquities' the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4-5)

"For if the Word spoken by angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed unto us by them that heard [Him]." (Hebrews 2:2-3)

Therefore, "by Him let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips, giving thanks to His name." (Hebrews 13:15)

Let Him "make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom [be] glory for ever and ever, Amen." (Hebrews 13:21)
