S.D.A. Bible Commentary Vol. 7A
joy and delight in receiving the Crucified One and crowning Him with
glory and honor. And all the favors He has shown to His Son in His
acceptance of the great atonement are shown to His people.... God
loves them as He loves His Son.... The seal of Heaven has been affixed
to Christ’s atonement. His sacrifice is in every way satisfactory.—
The
Signs of the Times, August 16, 1899
.
The sacrifice of Christ is sufficient; He made a whole, effica-
cious offering to God; the human effort without the merit of Christ,
is worthless.—
The Review and Herald, August 19, 1890
(March 24,
1896).
As the sacrifice in our behalf was complete, so our restoration from
the defilement of sin is to be complete.—
The Ministry of Healing,
451
.
His death on the cross of Calvary was the climax of His humilia-
tion. His work as a redeemer is beyond finite conception. Only those
who have died to self, whose lives are hid with Christ in God, can have
any conception of the completeness of the offering made to save the
fallen race.—
Letter 196, 1901
