the state u death
I He considered a number Of texts yolc
ing his theme. he said:
Death Is spoken ofFthroughout tht
Bible as an enemy. Merely hymn-bool
theology presents It as a friend, an an
gel sent Of God. Death Is introduces
to our attention In the Bible as The
penalty for sin, with the distinct IN
derstandtng that had Adam not trans
crossed the Divine commands be need
not have died, nor ever have been east
out Of hts Eden home. St Paul EN-
phasizes the fact that death is the pen
atty of sin and that the resurrection Of
the dead will come to mankind as the
result Of the redemptiye, work Of
Christ. He says. Since by man comes
death, by man also comes the 7resnr-
rection Of the dead, For assall. In
Adam die. even so all in Christ shall be
made alive; hut every man in his own
order" band or cohort q Corinthians
", 1928.
AS Genesis introduces death as q
penalty for sin, Revelation concludes
the great drama by pointing out
Christs victory and the destruction Of
sin and death, the release Of all the
members Of Adams family from his
sentence and eventually the bringing
Of all the willing back to fellowship
with God and to eternal life. Between
these two extremes Of Divine Reveal
