Equally to the point are the words of James Denny, "It is an immediate inference, then, from all that we have seen in the New Testament, that where there is no atonement there is no gospel. To preach the love of God out of relation to the death of Christ, or to preach the love of God in the death of Christ, but without being able to relate it to sin, or to preach that forgiveness of sins as the free gift of God's love while the death of Christ has no special significance assigned to it, is not, if the New Testament is the rule and standard of Christianity, to preach the gospel at all."--_Denny, in "The Death of Christ."_ III JESUS THE CHRIST AS SIN-BEARER--GOD'S JUSTICE AND LOVE "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life."--John 3:16. "That he might himself be just and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus."--Rom. 3:26. "He was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."--Is. 53:5, 6. "Christ died for our sins."--1 Cor. 15:3. "Our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins."--Gal. 1:3, 4. "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree."--1 Peter 2:24. "Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous."--1 Peter 3:18. "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give His life a ransom for many."--Matt. 20:28. "There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all."--1 Tim. 2:5, 6. "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us."--Gal. 3:13. "Our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity."--Titus 2:13, 14. "By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."--Heb. 10:10. "For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified."--Heb. 10:14. "Nor yet by the blood of goats and bulls, but through his own blood entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption."--Heb. 9:12. "This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many unto the remission of sins."--Matt. 26:28. "And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe and tongue and people and nation."--Rev. 5:9.
