              The Ministry of Healing
            
            
              falls, every ray of light shed upon our unthankful world, testifies to
            
            
              the love of God in Christ. Everything is supplied to us through the
            
            
              [425]
            
            
              one unspeakable Gift, God’s only-begotten Son. He was nailed to
            
            
              the cross that all these bounties might flow to God’s workmanship.
            
            
              “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
            
            
              that we should be called the sons of God.”
            
            
              1 John 3:1
            
            
              .
            
            
              “Men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear,
            
            
              Neither hath the eye seen a God besides Thee,
            
            
              Who worketh for him that waiteth for Him.”
            
            
              Isaiah 64:4, A.R.V.
            
            
              The Knowledge That Works Transformation
            
            
              The knowledge of God as revealed in Christ is the knowledge
            
            
              that all who are saved must have. It is the knowledge that works
            
            
              transformation of character. This knowledge, received, will re-create
            
            
              the soul in the image of God. It will impart to the whole being a
            
            
              spiritual power that is divine.
            
            
              “We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of
            
            
              the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory.”

              [426]
            
            
              Of His own life the Saviour said, “I have kept My Father’s
            
            
              commandments.”
            
            
              John 15:10
            
            
              . “The Father hath not left Me alone;
            
            
              for I do always those things that please Him.”
            
            
              John 8:29
            
            
              . As Jesus
            
            
              was in human nature, so God means His followers to be. In His
            
            
              strength we are to live the life of purity and nobility which the
            
            
              Saviour lived.
            
            
              “For this cause,” Paul says, “I bow my knees unto the Father
            
            
              of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and
            
            
              earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of
            
            
              His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner
            
            
              man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being
            
            
              rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all
            
            
              saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to
            
            
              know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be
            
            
              filled with all the fullness of God.”
