CHAPTER 185

FAITH IN THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST

As was remarked in the beginning of this work, the Christian faith revolves about two main doctrines: the divinity of the Trinity and the humanity of Christ. In the foregoing treatise we reviewed the truths that pertain to the divinity and its effects. We now turn to a consideration of matters pertaining to the humanity of Christ.

             Since, however, as the Apostle remarks in I Timothy 1:15, "Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners," we shall do well to inquire first how the human race fell into sin, so that we may understand more clearly how men are freed from their sins through Christ's humanity.
