Message |
In the
experience of Christ Himself on this earth we have an example of the
working out of God's plan of government. The charge Satan brought in the
beginning was that God was arbitrary, determined to have His own way,
that He did not love any one. And when Satan had turned man aside from
the way of truth, and was holding him in slavery, yet "God so loved
the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
on Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
By the gift of His Son God
proved that there was love in His government, and that by love He
desired to have His will done. In the love He had toward His created
beings He gave His only begotten Son to make it possible that His will
should be done on the earth. Christ came to this earth to work out this
plan, that man might be loyal to God if he chose.
Then you see that when Christ
came, it was the climax of the controversy.
