What Man Ought to Believe Concerning God
What is the misery of that estate whereinto man fell?
Answer
All mankind by their fall lost communion with God (Genesis 3:8,10,24), are under his wrath and curse (Ephesians 2:2-3; Galatians 3:10), and so made liable to all miseries in this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell for ever (Lamentations 3:39; Romans 6:23; Matthew 25:41,46).
