D, Vol. 2: Theological and Ethical Liable to fall - God designed to establish him in holiness for ever. The means through which this was to be done was a limited probation of the whole race in the person of one man - in other words, the justification of all through one. This purpose introduced several important modifications of moral government. The limitation of probation as to time introduces the idea of justification; the limitation as to persons introduces the idea of federal representation; and both together necessitate indefectibility of holiness. This dispensation had a threatening as well as a promise. Hence, to understand it fully, we must know the state to which its breach reduces us, that being the legal state in which the race now exists. Hence, we were led to a full consideration of Sin, its nature, its consequences, its origin in us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
