His great heart of love embraced the whole world, and led him to provide complete salvation for all who would believe in him. The Lord Jesus valued every human being, and could not endure the thought that one soul should perish. Christ came to be the light and life of the world, and his life was one of continual self-denial and self-sacrifice.
Through his entire life, Christ sought by continuous, laborious efforts to call the world's attention to God and to his holy requirements, so that men might be imbued with the Spirit of God, might be actuated by love, and might reveal in life and character the divine attributes. 1Ĭhrist came to the world to bring back the character of God to man, and to retrace on the human soul the divine image. He is working in order that selfishness may become world-wide, and thus make of no effect the mission and work of Christ. He seeks to obliterate the truth and abolish the true pattern of goodness and righteousness, in order that the professed Christian world may be swept to perdition through separation from God. He brings his strong delusions to bear upon the human mind, that he may have a controlling power. The enemy is working continually to supplant Jesus Christ in the human heart, and to place his attributes in the human character, in the place of the attributes of God.
Every human mind that is not surrendered to God and is not under the control of the Spirit of God, will be perverted through satanic agencies. The synagogue of Satan is intensely active, and in this age the deceiving power of the enemy is working in the most subtle way. The stern conflict between light and darkness, between truth and error, is deepening in its intensity. The great controversy between the Prince of light and the prince of darkness has not abated one jot or tittle of its influence as time has gone on.
