Provision for Every Emergency

Provision for Every Emergency 

     How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the
first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them
that heard him. Heb. 2:3.  

     The divine Author of salvation left nothing incomplete in the plan;
every phase of it is perfect. The sin of the whole world was laid upon
Jesus, and divinity gave its highest value to the suffering of humanity
in Jesus that the whole world might be pardoned through faith in the
Substitute. The most guilty need have no fear but that God will pardon,
for because of the efficacy of the divine sacrifice the penalty of the
law will be remitted. Through Christ the sinner may return to allegiance
to God.  

     How wonderful is the plan of redemption in its simplicity and
fullness. It not only provides for the full pardon of the sinner but
also for the restoration of the transgressor, making a way whereby he
may be accepted as a son of God. Through obedience he may be the
possessor of love and peace and joy. His faith may unite him in his
weakness to Christ, the source of divine strength, and through the
merits of Christ he may find the approval of God, because Christ has
satisfied the demands of the law, and He imputes His righteousness to
the penitent, believing soul. . . .  

     What love, what wonderful love, was displayed by the Son of God.
... Christ takes the sinner from the lowest degradation, and purifies,
refines, and ennobles him. By beholding Jesus as He is, the sinner is
transformed and elevated to the very summit of dignity, even to a seat
with Christ upon his throne. . . .  

     The plan of redemption provides for every emergency and for every
want of the soul. If it were deficient in any way, the sinner might find
some excuse to plead for neglect of its terms, but the infinite God had
a knowledge of every human necessity, and ample provision has been made
to supply every need. . . . What, then, can the sinner say in the great
day of final judgment as to why he refused to give attention, the most
thorough and earnest, to the salvation proffered him?
