“If Adam and Eve had never touched the forbidden tree, the Lord would have imparted to them knowledge,—knowledge upon which rested no curse of sin, knowledge that would have brought them everlasting joy.”
“In the earth seared and marred by the curse, in the briers, the thistles, the thorns, the tares, we may read the law of condemnation; but in the delicate color and perfume of the flowers, we may learn that God still loves us, that His mercy is not wholly withdrawn from the earth.”
“It was in looking in faith to Jesus, in asking of Him, in believing that every word spoken would be verified, that Enoch walked with God.”
“Every visit he made to the world was painful to him. He saw and understood something of the leprosy of sin.”
“How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
