God Is Love
“The Father has sent the Son to be the savior of the world.”
—-Robert Law, The Tests of Life
“In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10-11, NSV).
Pastor John shares additional excerpts from Robert Law’s The Tests of Life: A Study of the First Epistle of St. John, Being the Kerr Lectures for 1909 (Edinburgh, T&T Clark, 1909), elaborating on this great truth. Robert Law was a contemporary of James Denney and closest in agreement with him on the meaning of the atonement as the ultimate demonstration of what sin means to God and the cost of his love as demonstrated in the cross of Christ.
