n taking our nature, the Savior has bound himself to humanity by a tie that is never to be broken. Through the eternal ages He is linked with us. 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son'. John 3:16. He gave Him not only to bear our sins, and to die as our sacrifice, He gave Him to the fallen race. To assure us of His immutable counsel of peace, God gave His only begotten Son to become one of the human family, forever to retain His human nature. This is the pledge that God will fulfill His word, "Unto us a Son is given..." Desire of Ages, page. 25.
