own; for he is
liar, and the father of it."-John 8:44.
The Pastor began his sermon by
drawing a comparison between condi-
tons in Heaven and those on earth.
Then he asked, Why should God have
done so differently with two creations
men and angels-His own children?
The Bible, said he. explains the rea-
son for this difference of treatment.
through the dfsobedience of Father
Adam. The entire Adamic race is i'm
paired mentally, morally and physical
ly, as a result of the curse, or penalty
of Simplifying. thou shalt die"
Satan the Murderer.
Then the Pastor demonstrated from
Scripture that Satan was the murderer
of our race, as Jesus declared. Satan
persuaded Mother Eve that God. who
cannot lie, had lied to her; that the
declaration, Dying. thou shalt die" is
an untruth; that man could not die;
that he had some inherent life which
even God could not destroy. He fur
Their persuaded her that God had
selfish motive in telling the lie; that
God wished to keep them in ignorance.
Then Satan declared that by obeying
him they would become like God.
The death sentence was carried out.
Our first parents were driven from
Eden, that they might no longer have
access to the DEMONSTRATING fruits, that
they might come under the penalty.
There never was a sentence, Thou shalt
live in torment and be tortured by dev-
lis. All such misrepresentation are
ISLANDERS intended to dishonor God and
to turn mems hearts from Him.
Jesus the Life Giver.
The murdered race now numbers
about twenty thousand million souls.
Has God no gracious provision for
them? asked the speaker. He then an
swered his own question by numerous
Scriptures assuring us that God so
loved the world as not to wish them
to perish. He therefore gave His Son,
that all exercising ebedient faith in
Him might attain everlasting life.
The Pastor next explained that q
savior is life-giver. Adam failed to
give his race life What we need is
what he lost-life. This God has pro-
vided through Jesus. Salvation is a
raising from death to life-resurrection.
The resurrection will not be merely
an awakening from the tomb to the
conditions prevailing before death.
Adams dying began when he was per-
feet, and included all the processes
which finally led him to the tomb. His
resurrection will be his raising again
to what he lost through sin-to what
was redeemed at Calvary. This prin-
ciple holds with all his children.
This Resurrection will include all
mankind, with two exceptions. The
first will be those who refuse to CO.
operate with God in loving righteous
ness and hating iniquity. The other
will be the Church of this Gospel Age
saints of all nations and denomina-
lions. These will share in the First
Resurrection.
Satan the lncorrisble.

Satan's career of enmity toward God

thousand years, as recorded in Scrip

permitted Satan to remain at large

Unable to seduce our Redeemer to
disloyalty to God, Satan sought tosput
Him to ignominious death. only to find
that he had fulfilled the Scriptures.
