An Ascription of Praise to Our Lord Jesus

"An Ascription of Praise to Our Lord Jesus" shows what Christ has done and is still doing for us in the present tense - washing us, releasing us from our sins, yes, from the bondage of our sins. He has laid down His life for us. Therefore, the church is the result of the gospel, not the other way around.

The importance of church membership is also examined, since everywhere the gospel is preached, a church was planted, even amidst persecutions.
