We shall now consider one of the most illustrious characters set before us in the pages of Holy Writ, one who is expressly designated "the friend of God" (Jam. 2:23), and from whom Christ Himself derives one of His titles, "the son of Abraham" (Matthew 1:1).

It is of vital importance for a right understanding of much in God’s Word to observe the relation which Adam sustained to his posterity. Adam was not only the common parent of mankind, but he was also their federal head and representative. The whole human race was placed on probation or trial in Ede... Read More
In this chapter we shall attempt little more than to point out the connecting links between the Sinaitic and the Davidic covenants.

He lived upon both, was preserved from the awful judgment which swal... Read More
The Total Depravity of Man Chapter 11 EVIDENCES After the ground we have already covered in the preceding chapters it might be thought there is no need for a separate section to furnish proof that man is a fallen and depraved creature who has departed far from his Maker and rightful Lord. Though the... Read More
The Total Depravity of Man Chapter 3 IMPUTATION We are now to consider the bearing which Adam’s sin had on his posterity, and its different effects. In Eden Adam acted not Simply as a private person, the results of whose conduct affected none but himself, but rather as a public person, so that what ... Read More
The eighth chapter begins with the words, And God remembered Noah (Gen 8:1), Let me tell you this, God never forgot him.
