The Plain Man and His Bible #249831

It is in the Bible that we get the history Of man's moral condition. From the, study of science we can get a history of most Of the important mat ters Of life, but while we are doing this we are constantly reminded Of the fact that nowhere out side the Bible can we get the history of man's moral condition. Nature gives us no help. The earth itself is silent. The stars above us only con fuse us. Everything is dumb in answer to the question What is man? However, the Bible comes with the answer. It tells us that God made man in his own image. It tells us of man's fall. It tells us how the fall came about. It tells us that in the beginning God was pleased with man; they were together — God and man; that man turned away from God, and in this turning plunged the race into sin. The Bible is the only book which gives our origin and dis sects our present moral condition, and also points out the way of triumph.
