The purpose of the Lord and Savior was not only to redeem us out of filth and sin, but that we should grow up into manhood and womanhood in God and take a place in the world and accomplish the thing that God intended us to accomplish and fellowship with Him on His plane of understanding.
You are just as necessary to God in His plan for the salvation of mankind as God is necessary to you. That is a tremendous statement. I want to repeat it. Christians are just as necessary to Almighty God in order to accomplish His purpose in the world as God is necessary to the Christian. Without God we would not be saved. Without God we could not live. Without God we would never reach a maturity in God. Without man, God would have no medium through which He could express Himself to the world, by which he could minister the Spirit of the living God to the world.
-- John G. Lake, 1920
