“But why, I ask, was it necessary for the Son of God to assume human nature and live among men? There are several reasons: First, to minds darkened by sin it was impossible to convey in language an adequate revelation of the character of God, and so “the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.”
Savior of the World p. 26
