The Visions of Sadhu Sundar Singh

Then another of the Saints said, "All the inhabitants of heaven know that Alaha (God) is Love, but it had been hidden from all eternity that His love is so wonderful that He would become man to save sinners, and for their cleansing would die on the Cross. He suffered thus that He might save men, and all creation, which is in subjection to vanity. Thus Alaha, in becoming as a man, has shown His heart to His children, but had any other means been used His infinite love would have remained forever hidden. "Now the whole creation, with earnest expectation, awaits the manifestation of the sons of Alaha, when they shall be again restored and glorified. But, at present, they, and all creation, will remain groaning and travailing till this new creation comes to pass. And those also who have been born again groan within themselves, waiting for the redemption of the body; and the time approaches when the whole creation, being obedient to Alaha in all things, will be freed from corruption, and from this vanity forever. Then will it remain eternally happy in Alaha, and will fulfil in itself the purpose for which it was created. Then Alaha will be all in all".
