which do such things shall not in

SIG, 2D. SO here is where law came
in: Moreover the law entered, that
the offense might abound, but where
sin abounded, grace did much more
abound, etc. Again: Wherefore
serveth the law? It was added be-
cause of transgression." Gal. 1919.
Now the same apostle tells us that
original sin is condition that dwells
in the flesh: For l know that in
me chat is, my flesh dwelleth no
good thing Rom. 7:18: For by
the law is the knowledge Of sin.
Rom. 1920. Again: For ye are not
under the law, but under grace"
Rom. 6:14. There, we read: For
sin shall not have dominion over
you: for we are not under the law,
but under grace. Rom. 6:14. What
then? shall we sin because we are
not under the law, but under grace?
Wherefore, my brethren We are be-
come dead to the law by the body
of Christ, that we should be married
to another, even to him who is raised
from the dead, that we should bring
forth fruit unto God" Rom. ia,
Hence we read: There is therefore
now no condemnation to them which
are in Christ Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of Life
in Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death. For
what the law could not do, in that
it was weak through the flesh, God
sending His own Son in the like
ness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh; that the
righteous of the law might be full
filled in us, who walk not after the
flesh Rom. 7:5, 6, "but after the
Spirit. (See Acts 1875, 81. Space
will not permit full quotations so
please read the following Scriptures

II.
But referring to paragraph one in
this article again, and the quota
ton: For I was alive without the
law, but when the commandment
came sin revived and I died.. Rom.
7:9. This passage does not teach
that the infant is born in saved
state or condition. The teaching of
this verse is about law, and will
no more mix with grace than oil
will wix with water PauIs point
in this verse is: "where there is
no law there is no transgression.
Rom. AIS; oh. o. Infants are
sinners by nature, but are irres-
ponsibIe from birth to such a time
in life when they come to know
right from wrong, hence sin is not
imputed against the infant during
this immature age" Where there is
no law, there is no transgression"
Rom. 5:15; 5:13. 1t is certain that
law is not imputed to infants and
other irresponsibles, even when they
do wrong. God takes care of the ir-
responsibles who die insuch condi-
ton. In Matt. 1914 Jesus said:
Suffer little children to come I'M
to me and forbid them not to come
unto me, for of such is the kingdom
of heaven" Again, Jesus called
little child unto him and set him in
the midst of them and said, Verify
1 say unto you, except We be con-
verted and become as little children,
We shall not enter into the king
dom of heaven Whosoever there
fore shall humble himself as this
little one, the same is greatest in
the kingdom of heaven" Matt. Is
"a. So we see the little child is an
example of the class God saves
through faith and grace. Now it is
certain that God would not save
the adult who becomes as a little
child and reject the little child whom
he uses as an example of the sub
iects of Grace Not only this, but
Jesus reference to the little child
is a declaration that little children
are sinners by nature, otherwise, his
comparison would be meaningless.
But if Christ destroyed all Adamic
sin on the cross in A. D. 80, why
did Paul write it in A. D. SO? For
as in Adam all die, even so in Christ
shall all be made alive" Il Cor.
1929. If Adamic sin was destroy
ed on the cross, why do we con-
tinue in sin.
The beginning of the destruction
of Adamic sin begins with the adult
at the point of repentance toward
God and faith in our Lord Jesus.
Acts 20: 81; 26:31 Again: Receive
with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls"
Games 1:21.) At the time of the
salvation of our souls the salvation
of the body of the believer is guar
anteed, hence we read: And if
Christ be in you the body is dead
because of sin: but the Spirit is
