Why Should We Sing
Gospel Songs? Part 2
When Christians brag on
the Savior it is not only good news to Christians but it is also good news to
those who do not know the Lord. One of the most positive things that a
congregation of believers can do musically is to tell the good news or what God
has done for them individually. Although
worship is not about us but rather our Savior, salvation is about what God has
done for us individually. This salvation
is a personal “know so” salvation because as Roans 8:16 teaches, “The Spirit itself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.” Salvation does not mean very much to us until
we as individuals have become partakers of the divine nature as explained
in 2Peter 1:4, “Whereby are given unto
us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers
of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through
lust.”
One of the wonderful things about
musicing unto God through personal testimony presented in gospel songs is that
our being excited about singing the good news through gospel songs is in no way
a put-down of praise music, hymn singing or Psalm singing. You see, our God is so awesome that the
diversity of musics mentioned above, all help us to express the awesomeness,
solemnity, wonder, and majesty to the Triune God.
