Death Is introduced to our attention Ia
the Pible as the penalty for sin. with
the distinct understanding ttat had
Adam not transg-esscd The Divine
commands he need not have died. nor
ever have been east ont OF his Eden
home. St Paul emphasizes the fact
that death IS the penalty of sin ard
that the resurrection of the dead will
come to mankind as the result Of the
redemp;iye work of Christ. He says.
"Since by man comes death. By man
also comes the resurrection OF the
dead. For as all in Adam die. even SO
al Ia Christ shall bc made alive: hut
every man In his own order" band or

Death a Ravenous Morcter.
As Genesis introduces death as
penalty for sin. Revelation concludes
the great drama By pointing olt
Chrlst'H 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 II fellowship
with God and to eternal life. Between
these two extremes Of Divine Eevcla-
ton are the assurances Of the Prophets
and the words Of Jesus and His Apos-
ties explaining the processes OF red,mp-
ton and reconciliation. 81. Taul sim
