For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
God manifested His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, with NO HOPE of salvation, destined to the lake of fire, which is the 2nd death, Revelation 20:14-15, that He sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, to be the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world, John 1:29,35.
No longer was a lamb or bullock or a kid of the goats required, for it was not possible for the blood of bulls or goats to take away sin, Hebrews 10:4. These literal sacrifices found in the Old Testament were but a type or symbol of the True Sacrifice which was to come into the world, Christ Jesus.
Christ was the Perfect Sacrifice; He was sinless, without spot or blemish or any such thing, 1 Peter 1:18-19; Leviticus 1:3,10. It was Him & Him alone, who could atone for the sin of humanity. He is the way, the truth & the life and no man cometh unto the Father except through Christ, John14:6.
As the sinner in ancient times, placed his hands upon the head of the animal and confessed all of their sins upon the head of that said animal before sacrificing it, Leviticus 1:3-5;16:21, so the sinless Father placed upon the head of His sinless Son, the sin of all humanity, before He gave Him up to die on the Cross.
He made Him, who knew no sin, to be made sin for us, 2 Corinthians 5:21.
“The LORD has laid on Him, the iniquity of us all…He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.”
Isaiah 53:6-7
He came unto His own and His own received Him not, but as many as received Him and accepted Him as their Saviour, Redeemer & Lord, to them, He gave power to become the sons of God, John 1:11-12.
Behold! What manner of love, the Father has given unto us, that we should be called the sons & daughters of God! 1 John 3:1.
“God is love, in this was made known the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. This is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us.”
1 John 4:8-10
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.”
John 15:16
Friends, this is true love, a love which our fallen human minds will never fully grasp; the love shown by our Creator for His perishing creatures who have fallen to sin.
A way has been made that we may be redeemed and saved from the coming destruction. Sin and satan must be destroyed and those who shun the love of God, revealed unto us through no greater gift than that of His Son Jesus Christ, shall perish along with the devil and his angels.
Grace has been bestowed upon us, even though we are underserving of it; unmerited favour has been extended from the Holy Father to us, sinful creatures, “and how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?”
“Everything that God could do has been done for the salvation of man. In one rich gift He poured out the treasures of heaven. He invites, He pleads, He urges; but He will not compel men to come unto Him. He waits for their cooperation. He waits for the consent of the will….”
Ye Shall Receive Power, p.g. 41
