"I know
of no other principle than this associated with the
Gospel of the Son of God, whether in this age or any
other age. Jesus came here according to the foreordained
plan and purpose of God, pertaining to the human family,
as the Only Begotten of the Father full of grace and
truth. He came to offer himself a sacrifice, the just for
the unjust; to meet the requirements of a broken law,
which the human family were incapable of meeting, to
rescue them from the ruins of the fall, to deliver them
from the power of death to which all peoples had been
subjected by the transgression of a law, and He Himself
took the initiatory in this matter, and offered himself,
the Son of God, as competent propitiation for the sins of
the world." Journal
of Discourses, Vol.22, p.139 - p.140
