We should not underestimate or fail to understand how extremely important it must have been to the Father, in the early days of world, to have a Christ who would succeed in righteously, sinlessly pleasing Him, especially given the fall of others. Think if a king has no heir, how it affects his rule. Think how it affects respect for his authority, especially if some of his kingdom starts to lose that respect for him. God would not allow there to be no certainty of the coming of His Son of righteousness. It is no wonder there was always a Spirit of Christ in heaven. God would have ensured it. The righteousness of angels in heaven and respect by them towards God would have required it. That is the power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nature exists by it, persists by it, and functions by it. We must understand this.
