Redemptive Price Completely Paid on Calvary
55
All that God and Christ could do has been done to save sinners.
Transgression placed the whole world in jeopardy, under the death
sentence. But in heaven there was heard a voice saying, I have found
a ransom. Jesus Christ, who knew no sin, was made sin for fallen man.
“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.” Christ gave Himself as a ransom. He laid off His royal robe. He
laid aside His kingly crown, and stepped down from His high command
over all heaven, clothing His divinity with humanity that He might
carry all the infirmities and bear all the temptations of humanity.—
Letter 22, 1900
