God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration
GOD PRESENTS THE HUMILIATION OF CALVARY AS THE ANSWER TO SATAN’S ACCUSATIONS
TEXTS: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Phil. 2: 5-8, KJV.
“Yea doubtless, I count all things but loss for [the privilege of acquiring] the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. . . that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made comfortable unto His death.” Phil. 3: 8-10.
Now we resume where we left off last week quoting from The Great Controversy, 1911 edition by Ellen G. White, p. 502. Please refer back to it. (All emphasis, bracketed words, Notes, and suggested Texts at the beginning provided):
“God had manifested His abhorrence of the principles of rebellion. All heaven saw His justice revealed, both in the condemnation of Satan and in the redemption of man.
“Lucifer had declared that if the law of God was changeless; and its penalty could not be remitted [immutable], every transgressor must be fierce be forever debarred from the Creator’s favor. He had declared that the sinful race [of humanity] were placed beyond redemption, and were therefore his rightful prey.
“But the death of Christ was an argument for man’s behalf that could not be overthrown. The penalty of the law fell upon Him who was EQUAL with God, and [fallen, sinful] MAN WAS FREE TO ACCEPT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST, and by a life of penitence and humiliation TO TRIUMPH, AS the Son of God had triumphed, OVER THE POWER OF SATAN.
“Thus God is just, and yet the justifier of all who believe in Jesus.” (End extract).
NOTE. All who truly believe in Jesus Christ as their Creator, Redeemer, Deliverer, and Savior, will, in love and child-like confidence, trust, and unquestioning obedience, look to Him alone as their Example and Standard of practical living and moral character-perfection. They “overcome even as He overcame” (Rev. 3: 21). This is “the victory in Christ Jesus” (1 Cor. 15: 57; cf. 1 John 5: 3, 4).

- God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration: SATAN’S TRUE CHARACTER, NATURE, AND GUILT FIRST LAID BARE TO ALL ANGELS AND THE UNFALLEN WORLDS AT CALVARY
MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:
July 15, 2026
God’s Purposes Revealed by Inspiration
SATAN’S TRUE CHARACTER, NATURE, AND GUILT FIRST LAID BARE TO ALL ANGELS AND THE UNFALLEN WORLDS AT CALVARY
Continuing from last issue’s quote from Ellen G. White’s Great Controversy, 1911 edition, p. 501 (all emphasis, bracketed words and Notes provided):
“Now the guilt of Satan stood forth without excuse. He had revealed his true character as a LIAR and a MURDERER [see John 8:44]. It was seen that the very same spirit with which he ruled the children of men, who were under his power [since the fall in Eden and in the rise and fall of empires and nations], he would have manifested had he been permitted to CONTROL THE INHABITANTS OF HEAVEN.
NOTE: Heaven is the home of the Godhead, and the numberless throng of the angelic “ministering spirits” who, though “made a little higher than man,” are not of “flesh, blood, and bones.” Man do not and cannot “become angels with wings” and vice versa. It is blatant “lying against the truth” to believe, assert, and teach that angels and man can intermarry, or that there are “half angels, half man,” or half angels, half animals such as gargoyles, etc. Beware of persisting old world Spiritualism. But the final, end-time Spiritualism is what “Will take the whole world captive.” Remember: “To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them.”(Isa. 8: 19, 20).
“He had claimed that the transgression of God’s law would bring LIBERTY AND EXALTATION; but it was seen to result in BONDAGE AND DEGRADATION.
“Satan’s lying charges against the divine character and government appeared in their TRUE LIGHT. He had ACCUSED GOD of seeking merely the exaltation of Himself in requiring submission and obedience from His creatures, and had declared that while the Creator exacted SELF-DENIAL from all others, He Himself practiced NO self-denial and made NO SACRIFICE.
“Now it was seen [as Jesus was expiring at the cross] that for the salvation of a fallen and sinful race [of human beings only; never angels], the Ruler of the universe had made the GREATEST SACRIFICE [and the ‘greatest self-denial’ as well] which LOVE could make, for ‘God was IN Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself’ (2 Cor 5: 19).
“It was seen also [at Calvary’s cross], that while Lucifer had opened the door for the ENTRANCE OF SIN [‘the mystery of iniquity’], by his DESIRE FOR HONOR AND SUPREMACY, Christ had in order to destroy sin, HUMBLED HIMSELF, and become OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH [see Phil. 2: 9, 5-10].”— End extract from GC 502.
