"How great the love of God is God made the world to enlarge heaven. He desired a larger family.
And before man was created, God and Christ entered into a covenant that if he fell from his allegiance, Christ would bear the penalty of transgression.
Man fell, but he was not left to the power of the destroyer. 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.' To the Redeemer was given all power to impart to fallen human beings for their benefit and blessing."
