Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV. Christ's Living And Dying Testimony For God The Essence Of His AtoneMent For Man's Sin. 'TVHIS is the question which now demands to be considered. I believe that the essence of Christ's Atonement consists in His effectual testimony to the faultless wisdom, rectitude, and goodness of His Heavenly Father, against all the injurious and blasphemous insinuations implied in the apostasy of mankind. The case in which He interposed was, as I conceive, regarded by Him thus: ?Men have rebelled against my Father; theyhave wandered into paths, and followed principles of action, and yielded to passions, and pursued schemes of enjoyment and happiness, which He has forbidden: ?and thus they have virtually impeached His character, defamed His law, slandered and reviled His government, and said that it was hostile to their well-being to be under His sway, and that they could better ensure that well-being by methods of their own. I will, in compliance with His merciful appointment, go down into their world, will take their nature so as to become bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh, and in that nature will perfectly fulfil the law which they have con- tumeliously broken, and thereby show the beauty and blessedness of obedience to it, and, therefore, how benign is that law, how just and benevolent the governmentwhich upholds it, and how wise and gracious the Being who ordained it. And all else enjoined by my Father will I faithfully do, even to the extremity of laying down my life. And this shall be MY testimony, in the sight of angels and men, to my Father's absolute and adorable perfection, ?the expression of MY sense of His unsullied glory as the universal Governor, ?MY unanswerable vindication of Him and His ways from all the wicked aspersions of my human brethren, ?and alsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
