The Gift and Loss of Life

Thank God, all the above charges against God are untrue. God created man, and gave him his choice of life or death. "In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death;" but "the soul that sinneth, it shall die;" "sin, when it is finished [full-grown], bringeth forth death." God gave man the boon of life to use for His glory, which is ever for man's highest good. If man refuses thus to use that gift, God removes it. His creature can not reasonably complain; and God is just. And this is the teaching of the Word of God. It is taught so strongly, clearly, that there can be no question, and every passage which seems to teach the contrary can be clearly explained in harmony therewith.
