The New Testament

From beginning to end, the Old Testament exposes man’s rebellious heart. The first Adam has proven himself to be entirely a reprobate. Israel, unto whom were committed the oracles of God, brought forth nothing but wild grapes (Rom. 3:2; Isa. 5:2). What more could God do for man? Why, he sends forth His Son! “When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father” (Gal. 4:4-6). Oh what love! Oh what grace!
We joy in out God, and we sing of that love,
So sovereign and free which did His heart move!
When lost out condition, all ruined, undone,
He saw with compassion, and spared not His Son!
