Christ's Sacrifice-the Foundation
PRAYER.

YOU emptied Yourself, O Savior, and took a human nature for our salvation. Help me to realize all You have done for me.

THE sacred doctrine of Christ's Atoning Sacrifice is the vital principle on which the Christian lives. Without it no other doctrine is held profitably.

To believe in Christ's Divinity or in His manhood or in the Holy Trinity or in a judgment to come or in the resurrection of the dead is an untrue belief, not Christian Faith, unless we receive also the doctrine of Christ's sacrifice.
