the impcricCiion resulting to their
parents by reason Of the death SEN

man (Adam) sin entered into the
world. and death by sin, So death

the whole race came under legal
/ condemnation, and thus understand
/ ing Gods arrangement we can ap-
/ prccialc the words of the Psalmist:
Behold, ! was Shapcned in ini-
| guilty, and in sin did my mother
conceive me" PSa. 81: ,.
This judgment of death being just
ly inflicted by Jehovah for viola
tion of his law could be reversed
by him, and unless ne made some
provision for the relief Of man
kind, the whole race ultimately
would 60 into death and there
would be no reSurrcClion-no hope
for them in the future. God pro-
missed, however, that he would re-
deem man from death. Through
the prophet he said: II will ran
som them from the power of the
grave; | will redeem them from
death" Hosea 1874
Since a perfect man had sinncd
and brought death upon the race,
nothing but the life of a Gerfect
man could satisfy that Judgment;
and s.ncc all of the human race
was imperfect therefore "None of
them could by any means redeem
his brother, nor give to God ran
som for him" PSa 40: 7.
The death and resurrection of
Jesus provided ransom or pur-
'haSe price for the entire human
ace. Then in Gods due time every
)ne OF Adams race, the living and
he dead, must know this fact and
nave a chance TO accept the bcnc-
its Of it. "For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our
saviour, who will have all men TO |

purchase of mankind from death c
