Top Highlights
“Some critics wonder why God was so strict with His people Israel during those formative centuries, but we must remember that Israel was called to reveal God to the Gentiles and to bring God’s Son into the world. Whenever Israel went after idols and abandoned the Lord, they were jeopardizing that wonderful plan of salvation.” (Page 6)
“Isaiah 26:3, ‘You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You” (Page 17)
“Our Lord needed a human body so that, in His death, resurrection, and ascension, He would defeat the devil and enable us to live victoriously. ‘He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifest, that He might destroy the works of the devil’ (1 John 3:8).” (Page 8)
“Our Lord needed a human body so that He could experience what we experience and become our High Priest and Advocate. When our Lord returned to heaven, He took with Him a glorified body that had experienced birth, growth, toil, weariness, hunger and thirst, pain, and death.” (Page 10)
“Freedom is life controlled by truth and motivated by love. ‘And you shall know the truth,’ said Jesus, ‘and the truth shall make you free.… Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed’ (John 8:32, 36).” (Page 24)
