Ode to Reconciliation
"in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation." We have been rescued from the penalty of sin-the great exchange.

Ode to Our Union in Christ
(Inspired by Romans 7:4) - I have died through the law only because of the blood of Jesus Christ. His Spirit, alone, brings me a new life and a New Love. "Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ..."

Ode to Justification by Faith
Romans 5:1, "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." It is an old definition of "justification " as "just as if I'd never sinned," The gift of God's justification will never grow old!
