 > Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6
+> The Godhead was stirred with pity for the race, and the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit gave themselves to the working out of the plan of redemption. In order fully to carry out this plan, it was decided that Christ, the only begotten Son of God, should give Himself an offering for sin. **What line can measure the depth of this love?** God would make it impossible for man to say that He could have done more. With Christ He gave all the resources of heaven, that nothing might be wanting in the plan for man's uplifting. Here is love—the contemplation of which should fill the soul with inexpressible gratitude!  Oh, what love, **what matchless love**! The contemplation of this love will cleanse the soul from all selfishness. It will lead the disciple to deny self, take up the cross, and follow the Redeemer." (PH148 5.3).
+> The plan of salvation, devised prior to the beginning of time, **expresses the love of Christ to man**, the devotion of the Son to the Father's glory. “To the intent that now the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” This eternal purpose embodied before the universe the glory of the divine love in the salvation of man. (ST November 21,  1892, par. 8).

+Jesus' sacrifice on the cross was for everyone. It was complete. The agreement made between God and Jesus was fulfilled. Jesus secured salvation for “whoever believes.” But Jesus' work did not end. His work continued in the Holy Place, then in 1844 progressed to the Most Holy Place in the most solemn work of the Investigative Judgment.
