Faith must obviously have something solid to rest on, and God in His mercy has provided for this need. He gave His son to die on the cross, and then raised Him from the dead so that as well as giving us life through Him, and countless blessings, our weaknesses and divisions might be healed. Only in this way can the vital work of bringing others out of darkness into light be accomplished; and only in this way can Satan have taken from him the means of hindering the unity and effectiveness witness of Christians in the world.
