3. Its Manifestations.

a. . “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that into the world, that we might live through him” (). See also John 3:16; .

Man cannot look upon Calvary and say, “God doesn’t love me.” One dear man told of the time when his own son was in the pangs of death. The hardest thing he ever had to do was to say, “Thy will be done. If thou wantest my son, thou canst have him.” Oh, to give up an only son! But mankind gives up its sons to , who takes care of them better than man ever could. But God gave His Only Son to sin — to pay for sin, ! Yes, we may see our children in the throes of death, but God saw His Son suffer as no man ever did. The dearest child on earth is only a stranger compared with the love of God toward His Son. God points toward Calvary and says, “See my Son! See Him mocked, smitten and bruised?” God saw Him. God saw sinners as they crucified His Son. God could have wiped them off the face of the earth, but He did not. The nails that pierced His Son pierced the heart of the Father. We can understand it. “For God so loved the world, that He ” The Father gave him up to the hands of justice, to pay for our sins.

Many a murderer has had to pay with his life for his crime. Jesus was delivered up to pay for our crimes of sin.

b. . To believers only is given that sacred position — in Christ; there is where we are — . “Beloved, now are , and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall ; for we shall ” (I John 3:2): “Even when we were dead in sins, with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and , and made us sit in heavenly places ” ().

c. . “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not” (I John 3:1, R. V.).
