For All the Purposes of God are in His Son and All His Works are Intended to Extend His Son!
The tragedy surrounding the events in the Garden of Eden lies in the Fact that instead of Receiving the Life of God’s Son man sinned, thereby turning himself against God and becoming a slave to Satan.
And hence, therefore, the Work of God first lay, negatively, in solving the question of man’s sin by Delivering him from the bondage of the devil, and, positively, in Causing man to Accept His Son’s Life.
The Redemptive Work of God is therefore to Deliver man from sin and Satan and to Cause man to Partake of His Son’s Life.
