THAT
GOD

earth
and
placed
him
upon

that
man
wi!·
fully
disobcred
GOll'S
law
and
was
sent\'nced

that
by
rca
son
of
Adam's
wrongful
act
all
men
are
born
sinners
and
without
the
right
to
life,
TJIAT
JESUS
was
made
a
human
being

his

allll
thereby
procluced
the
ransom
pricp:
tllat
Jesus
the
divine
arose
from
the
dead,
ascended
into
h2aven,
and
presented

sacrifice
as
the
redemptive
price
for
man.

God,
throll,!',h
Christ,
has
k~n
selecting
from
amongst
men
tile
members
of
Ilis
cllUrdl,
which
CDnstitutes

of
her
Lord
Christ
