The Gift of Christ Gives the Lie to
Satan’s Charges
In the experience of Christ Himself on this
earth we have an example of the working out of
God’s plan of government. The charge Satan
brought in the beginning was that God was
arbitrary, determined to have His own way, that He
did not love any one. And when Satan had turned
man aside from the way of truth, and was holding
him in slavery, yet “God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth on Him should not perish but have
everlasting life.” And by the gift of His Son God
proved that there was love in His government, and
that by love He desired to have His will done. In
the love He had toward His created beings He gave
His only begotten Son to make it possible that His
will should be done on the earth. Christ came to
this earth to work out this plan, that man might be
loyal to God if he chose.
