Throughout the Word of God, THERE is an on-going theme which is known as "Theandric Action" or God manifest OR ALIVE in the flesh which has to do with winner believers who lived a life that was a TYPE of Christ.

 

All of these spiritual heroes revealed some virtue that was in Christ.

 

They were all lights to the world and salt to the earth.

 

JOH 14:12  "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

ACT 16:25  But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;

 

In ROM 15:9, we Gentiles should glorify God for His mercy; and as it is written, "Therefore I will give praise to Thee among the Gentiles, And I will sing to Thy name."

 

Our singing is to reflect a doctrinal content as Paul taught in 1CO 14:15  I shall pray with the spirit and I shall pray with the mind also; I shall sing with the spirit and I shall sing with the mind also.
