MANS GREAT NEED CONSIDERED
Tho FIRST point no be considered is the necessity Of
| nis righteousness This necessity arises from the
loss of Tho Original righteousness The great Creator
not only gave TO man an erect form, but an upright
mind and slnless soul endued with night principles
and holy affections. He created him In Ills own
rSbteous BENG But when the serpent succeeded IN
poisoning man With doubts Of tho goodness OF his
his revealed WILL mans moral beauty was bhghtet:
bis uprghtness gone. and the once beautiful and
sreatllrei And like parents like ohidren-we have
oil sinned and come short Of the glory Of Cod There
IRIS loss OF original righteousness makes Il necessary
for us 10 obtain the righteousness of God somehow
from the impossibnty Of our being saved without
this righteousness Reason iane,ed TINS was 80; bgt
compromising IN its statements relative TO tho ey %
sin and TIE sure ruin Of Inc sinner ~. y, law "a
pronounces rs awful penalties upon evcty tr9ns
