God is Love - G.E. Fifield (1897)

“

The earthly sanctuary services were appointed of God to help man know and understand exactly what God was willing to do for him. Every animal slain by the hand of the sinner was to be a miniature Calvary. It was to reveal to man the deep-seated enmity he held against God, but in the same instant to prove to him that God held nothing back, not even His Son, if by any means He could bring man to see his rebellion. It was in this way that God prepared the catalyst to break the proud and stubborn heart of man. Nothing less than “blood” could wash away such an awful sin as his, i.e., the will to kill God.

God is Love - G.E. Fifield (1897)

Preface

These chapters first appeared some four years since, published as a serial in one of our weekly religious journals. Since that time, the writer has never ceased to receive requests that they be put in some more permanent form. This little book is the result. The author is very sensible of its imperfections and limitations.
Of the many subjects touched, not one is treated exhaustively, but all are only used for the moment, as God uses the sunset clouds, or the snow on the mountain’s summit, merely to reflect to darkened eyes, low down in the valley, the glory of his goodness.
Born of the heart, it is humbly hoped these words may speak to the heart; and that some poor souls, driven by doubt and wandering wearily because of sin, may behold here revealed the mystic ladder leading from the Bethel stone of their present hunger and loneliness to the light and warmth of plenty of the Father’s House.
G. E. F.
