what the will of God for salvation is, it can
not be revealed, and it is further evident that
no being in the Universe, except God himself,
knows what Gods will for the salvation of
sinners is.
According to the Scriptures, Jesus Christ,
the prophet chosen by God to reveal his will
for salvation, is himself God equal to the
Father. He possesses all the communicable
and incommunicable attributes of Deity.
Whatever God is he is. "He is spirit, in
and of himself infinite in being, glory, bles-
sedness and perfection all-sufficient, eternal,
Interchangeable, incomprehensible, everywhere
present, almighty, knowing all things, most
merciful and gracious, long-sutfering, and
abundant in goodness and truth"
AS God, Jesus Christ is Omnicient. He
knew from all eternity the will of God for the
salvation of sinners AS the incarnate God,
Jesus Christ was endowed by God the Father,
with a spirit of wisdom and understanding
Or, in the language of the Scriptures, "God
giveth not the spirit by measure unto him."
John 3: :34 The duty of Jesus Christ, as the
prophet of his people, being to reveal the will
of God for their salvation, and his qualifca-
tions being ample for the discharge of this
duty, we may ask, has he discharged this duty
Has he revealed to sinners the will of God for
their salvation?
To this inquiry, it is unhesitatingly answered
in the affirmative. In the Scriptures of the
Old and New Testament, we have made known
unto us plan of salvation honorable to God
and worthy of all acceptation on our part.
This plan of salvation may be briefly stated
thus. God the Father, chose Jesus Christ, his
own son, that he might bear our griefs, carry
our sorrows, be wounded for our transgres-
sions, be bruised for our iniquities, that the
chastisement of our peace might be upon him,
and that by his stripes we might be healed.
This revelation was made during period of
