The great lessons taught by lsraers

obtained for Israel and all mankind.
a. That since the penalty Is death,
/ only by sRcrIfclal death can sinners
be released from the death penalty.
We all know the arguments used by
those who oppose the Bible doctrine or
| Blood Atoncment for Sin. They claim
that It IL unnecessary, TINT God could
lust as easily as not cancel all sin with
out requiring the death OF either a bul'
lock or a goat, or OF The Nan Christ
Jesus, or anybody else.
But are not such arguments illogical?
Ia II not Illogical to suppose that the
great Supreme Judge OF the Universe
would make n Law and n penalty for
II, lnhict the penalty Justly, and after
wards set aside the penalty with
out n reason2 Surely no earthly Judge
would do so. and surely Heavenly
Judge could not do 80 without intrac-

ment. for n It Is right TO impose
death sentence as penalty for sin.
and 10 allow that sentence TO be IN ef

suffer under II for that time. would II
not be unjust to afterwards institute a
change, set aside the Law the Curse,
the penalty for SIM Surely we all
agree to this!
Some, however, will say, Surely God
never made such penalty. Why
should He make penalty which would
cause the death of His Son, or the
death Of anybody to eradicate 1t. to set
1t aside? We answer that God did
make such penalty; for It Is manifest
that our entire race Is a dying one.
which has been under the Reign OF
Sin and Death for Six Great Days OF
thousand years each Moreover the
Bible declares that God pronounced the
penalty inflicted the death penalty as
we have for the very purpose and
object Of the death Of His Son, that
thus He might Dire erideHcc, both 10
angels and to men, that his Ldio Is IN
riolQJle but that His Justice is fully
equaled by His Lore.
"Christ's Better Sacrifices"
If the Jewish Law gave hint that n
sacrihcial death would be necessary
for the cancellation Of human sin, 1t
also gave hint that the death OF bulls
and of goats was not sufficient for the
cancellation Of human sin; because the
sacrifices Of the Jewish Atonement
Day merely covered sin for one year
and did not actually cancel it at all
The sacrifice was Of proper kinda
life-but the life was not of sufficient
value Why? Becausc the Law Of
Justice would not he satisfied to ac-
cept the death of bullock ana of a
goat as the equivalent for the forfeit
ed life OF Father Adam II mn angel
had sinuyd ana been condemned to
death, only the death Of an angel Of
the same grade and state would have
constituted full Offset or Ransom for
his life. because the very meaning Of
the word Ransom is anti-WtrOh--G cor
responding price.
So neither could an angels death re

the giving of n price TO correspond
Neither could our Rcdeemer, in His
pre-humau condition, ~ the Logos, the
Word, have given His life for Father
Adam and the race because that would
not have been corresponding price

In harmony with this, st Paul writes
to Timothy Il Timothy II, 3. d that
