What Does The
Bible Say?
Christ, the world's Redeemer,
refused heavenly wealth and
glory, so that "though He was
rich He became poor." 2 Cor
8:9. While on earth He suf
fered ill treatment in order to
accomplish his mission. John
3:17, "For God sent not His
Son into the world to judge the
world, but that the world should
be saved through Him." He de
feated satan in the wilderness,
and by casting out demons,
shedding His own blood for the
remission of sins, and conquer
ing death by His resurrection.
In baptism He completed the
sinner's deliverance by trans
lating Him from the power of
darkness into His own kingdom.
Gal. 3:27, Col. 1:13.
God's law that He gave to Is
rael through Moses did not
have the promise of eternal life,
Heb. 11. It was not for that
purpose, it was temporary law
lo prepare man to receive the
Lamb of God, who was to take
away the sins of the world. We
read that in 2 Cor. 3:7-9. We
also read in Rom. 10:4 that
Christ was the end of the law.
