Mankind’s Worst Possible Fate
Posted by pastorjoe under: Articles .
Consider this profound truth:
“ . . . God alone knows what is good for human beings and God alone knows what is not good for them. To enjoy the ‘good’ we must trust God and obey Him. If we disobey, we will have to decide for ourselves what is good and what is not good. While to modern men and women such a prospect may seem desirable, to the author of Genesis it is the worst fate that could have befallen humanity.”
- John Sailhamer (quoted in The Purifying Power of Living by Faith in Future Grace by John Piper)
