The moment that Adam fell he ceased to exist in regard to the life of God; he lost the life that is called eternal. The purpose of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, when he was revealed from heaven among the children of men, was to re-bestow what Adam had lost, and to endow humanity with something better; he came to give us back all that we lost in Adam, and also to make us the sons and daughters of the Lord God Almighty in the fullness of the enjoyment of that wonderful term. Adam could not be called the child of God in the sense in which that term is applied to a Christian. Adam was only a child of nature, with the God of providence and power overruling him; the Christian is a child of grace, with the God of love and beauty and holiness overruling him.
