man blasphemeth.

in your hearts?
5. For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
say, Arise, and walk?

strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I
rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon
me.

similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
17. The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of
any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18. The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the
likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
19. And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou

BOOK II.
DOCTRINES RELATING TO MAN.

"And God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our
likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created
man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them." (Gen. i, 26, 27.) Man was created in
the image of God, and invested with dominion and authority. St.
Paul, in Col. iii, 10, says: "Put on the new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of him that created him," and in Eph.
iv, 24, "Put on the new man, which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness." From these passages it is evident
that the image of God consists in "knowledge," in "righteousness,"
and in "true holiness." The likeness of God in which man was
created was that of the moral perfections of his Maker. That this
moral image of God in man implies and rests upon the natural image
of God, must be apparent; for unless he had been endowed with
knowledge, spirituality, and will, he would have been wholly
incapable of moral qualities. In the Book of Wisdom, which conveys
the ideas of the ancient Jews, we find this language: "For God
created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his
own eternity." As a moral being, man was created under law; the
language of which was: "Of every tree of the garden mayest thou
freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it; for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt
surely die." Gen. ii, 16, 17. The history informs us that the woman,
tempted through the agency of the serpent, which was "more subtile
than any beast of the field," took of the fruit, gave it to her husband,
who also ate; that for this act of disobedience they were expelled
from the garden, made subject to death, and laid under other
maledictions. "By Adam's transgressions," says Paul, Rom. v, "many
were made sinners." Through him death passed upon all men. As
the federal head of the race, he was the fountain of sin and death to
his posterity.
The prohibition under which our first parents were placed has
been the subject of much ridicule, and the occasion of many a "fool-
born jest;" and the whole transaction has been declared to be
unworthy of the parties concerned. Where would the test be placed
if not in the government of man's own appetites? Social and political
relations he had none. We do not suppose that the prohibition under
which our first parents were placed was the only rule of their
conduct. This precept was made prominent by special injunction,
and the result showed that it was a sufficient test. The law was
simple and explicit. It was not difficult of observation, and it
accorded with the circumstances of those on whom it was enjoined.
The immediate visible agent in the seduction of man to sin was
the serpent; but the testimony of Scripture is in proof that the real
tempter was that subtile and powerful evil spirit whose general
appellations are the devil and Satan; the former signifying traducer
and false accuser, and the latter, an adversary. That the devil was
the real tempter is the uniform teaching of the Scriptures, and that
an order of fallen spirits, under the guidance of an arch-leader, are
permitted to have influence on earth, to war against the virtue and
peace of man, though under constant control and government, and
that this entered into the circumstances of the trial of our first
parents, and that it enters into ours.
It is not our purpose in this connection to discuss either the theory
of temptation, or the extent of Satanic influence, but to present
man's relation to the Divine government as revealed in the
Scriptures. In consequence of the apostasy of Adam, all men have
sinned. After Adam had lost the image of God he begat a son in his
