"HE WILL HOLD ME FAST" BY MATT-Q
• "HE WILL HOLD ME FAST"...
"He Will Hold Me Fast" was originally written by Ada Ruth Habershon, a British hymn writer, in 1906. The music was composed by Robert Harkness, an Australian-born evangelist and musician.
Shane and Shane, a popular Christian music duo, adapted the hymn, releasing their version in 2014 on their album "The Worship Initiative, Vol. 1." .
The hymn was intended to provide comfort and assurance of God's steadfastness and faithfulness.
It is vital to know the HISTORICAL CONTEXT of faith as well.
This song underscores the essence of the Christian faith and the good news aka Gospel, that salvation is solely by faith in Christ and can never be earned by one's good works and self improvement efforts, which in itself, is already deeply offensive to the self-made individual who prides himself or herself as being the master of his/her destiny.
A study of church history reveals how the understanding and.appropriation of the Word of God through the Scriptures has led to great ramifications in the lives of many as one will live one's life in accordance with what one believes.
Much as the faith extols the overwhelming grace, mercy and sovereignty of God in saving us, it does not negate personal responsibility, accountability and working hard in dependence on the One Who has saved and continues to save those whom He has called.
An unhealthy overemphasis on both ends of the spectrum leads to a theology of 'cheap grace' where one EITHER uses salvation as a 'passport' for getting to Heaven and the false assurance that one can live life anyway one likes without considering the consequences OR one reduces the faith to a set of human efforts of self improvement and 'moral choices' 'where God helps those who help themselves', which undermines the futility of one's efforts to save oneself.
It then leads to believers becoming very legalistic OR very callous in the outworking of one's faith; both of which actually do not accurately reflect the holistic and wholesome balanced application of the good news aka the Gospel, which is why it is important to check, reflect, ponder and countercheck what one believes in.
