It is well with my soul – Sovereign Grace Bulletin Articles

”Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.” | Isaiah 53: 10

I love to hear a congregation sing the song “It Is Well With My Soul” with all of the parts joining in together.

I love the message of the song even more.

The one and only way it can be well with the soul of a sinful wretch like me is if Christ made His soul an offering for my sin.

Since I know from the Word of God that the Lord Jesus Christ did make His soul an offering for sin, my heart can rest in this truth: it really is well with my soul.

It may not be well with my decaying body of flesh.

I may be filled with sickness and pain, but it is well with my soul.

It may not be well with my mind.

My mind may be troubled and perplexed, but it is well with my soul.

It may not be well with the world around me.

The world may be filled with turmoil and hatred, but it is well with my soul.

Like the songwriter said, Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, O my soul.

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

”And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:” | Revelation 22: 1-3

I love to be in a congregation singing the song, It Is Well With My Soul. But how can a sinner sing that song and mean it?

Only in Christ.

It is well with my soul if Christ took my sin away from me and died to put those sins away under His blood. If my sin is gone, my sin can never condemn me.

It is well with my soul if Christ was punished for my sins as my Substitute. God will never punish me if Christ was already punished for me.

It is well with my soul if I am justified by faith in Christ, not my failed works of the law.

It is well with my soul if the Holy Spirit has given me faith in Christ because “whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” (John 11: 26)
