The phrase "the destiny of the world was at stake" or similar sentiments indicating the profound significance of Christ's sacrifice for humanity are indeed present in the book.
During a pivotal and agonizing moment, specifically in the garden of Gethsemane, it is revealed that "the awful moment had come—that moment which was to decide the destiny of the world. The fate of humanity trembled in the balance." In this critical hour, "when everything was at stake," the Son of God faced an overwhelming burden. This illustrates the immense importance of Jesus' mission and His sacrifice for the salvation of humanity, highlighting that the entire world's future hinged on His decision to drink the bitter cup of suffering for our sake.
The love of God had been constantly extended to the fallen human race throughout history, but at this crisis, when Satan's triumph seemed imminent, the Son of God arrived with a message of divine grace.
