Article 17: The Recovery of Fallen Man
Prev   Text File   Next

We believe that our good God,
   by his marvelous wisdom and goodness,
   seeing that man had plunged himself in this manner
   into both physical and spiritual death
   and made himself completely miserable,
set out to find him,
though man,
   trembling all over,
was fleeing from him.

And he comforted him,
promising to give him his Son,
   "born of a woman,"31
to crush the head of the serpent,32
and to make him blessed.

31 Gal. 4:4
32 Gen. 3:15
