A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Then it was 1hat man could see his Creator, and converse with Him, face to face ;and had there been no enemy in existence, it may be, that God would not have put A dam under any restrictions; but God knew there was a Lucifer in being; therefore, in order to his preservation and advancement in glory and happiness, God gave A dam to know, that notwithstanding his blessed state, he was not, as yet, at the summit of happiness, but in a progressive state or condition, and that obedience to His will would be indispensably necessary. Therefore God gave A dam a law which should be a fair trial ol his love and obedience. It was said to A dam, of every tree thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.3 Gen. ii chap. 16,17 verses. A dam was now to act not only for himself, but also for his posterity ;therefore the happiness of himself and his posterity, would depend upon his conduct. A dam was but a short time in the garden, before his obedience was tested. Lucifer, or Satan, that great enemy of God, soon fell to work, and devised apian to tempt and to evercome our first parents. I have no doubt upon my mind, that Satan is one of those fallen angels whom the apostle Jude makes mention of: And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness, unto the judgment of the great day. Jude, 6v. A dam being in a state of purity, Satan could have no access unto him, until he united himself writh the serpent. The serpent,therefore,became his instrument, and as the serpent was by nature subtle, or artful, he was the better qualified for this undertaking.
