"'Thanks be to GOD for His inexpressible gift!'" ~ 2 CORINTHIANS 9:15 NKJV ~ That the Saviour is a gift to mankind. So He is uniformly represented; see John 3:16; Galatians 1:4; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 1:22; 1 Timothy 2:6; Titus 2:14. This is a gift unspeakably great, whose value no language can express, no heart fully conceive. It is so because: (a) Of His own greatness and glory; (b) Because of the inexpressible love which He evinced; (c) Because of the unutterable sufferings which He endured; (d) Because of the inexpressibly great benefits which result from His work. No language can do justice to this work in either of these respects; no heart in this world fully conceives the obligation which rests upon man in virtue of His work. ~Notes on the Bible by Albert Barnes [1834]
