His rescue...

When we were sinking down, sinking down
You laid aside Your crown and became our substitute
You died the death we could not die
And lived the life we could not live
And credited to us the blessings of both by Your gift of faith

One of my all time favorite quotes regarding scripture's importance.

"Those things which have been delivered to us by God in the Sacred Scriptures must be sharply distinguished from those that have been invented by men in the Church, it matters not how eminent they be for saintliness and scholarship." - Martin Luther
