The Gift of God to Us
The redeemed have all their good of God. God is the great author of it. He is the first cause of it and not only so, but He is the only proper cause. 'Tis of God that we have our Redeemer. 'Tis God that has provided a Savior for us. Jesus Christ is not only of God in His person as He is the only begotten Son of God, but He is from God as we are concerned in Him, and in His office of mediator He is the gift of God to us. God chose and anointed Him, appointed him his work, and sent him into the world. And as it is God that gives, so 'tis God that accepts the Savior. As it is God that provides and gives the redeemer to buy salvation for us, so it is of God that that salvation is brought. He gives the purchase and He affords the thing purchased. Jonathan Edwards.
Ryan Bush:No one has ascended into heaven except He who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. John 3:13-18.
