God Loved Us So Much That He Gave His Son as a Sacrifice ㅡ

 “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” (1 John 4:10).

Love is the underlying principle of God’s government in heaven and earth, and it must be the foundation of the Christian’s character....

And love will be revealed in sacrifice.

When Adam’s sin plunged the race into hopeless misery, God might have cut Himself loose from fallen beings.

He might have treated them as sinners deserve to be treated.

He might have commanded the angels of heaven to pour out upon our world the vials of His wrath.

He might have removed this dark blot from His universe.

But He did not do this.

Instead of banishing them from His presence, He came still nearer to the fallen race.

He gave His Son to become bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh.
