love to God. Thee is not one single passage in
the Bible which sIys that Christ was sacrificed to
recon.ile God 70 man. There is not a dogmatic
statement to oe found in the New Testament.

God loves u.s. and by his pure example to shame
US and bring us to- repentance and obedience to
Law, following the golden rule"
