4. Dispensation of Innocence
• Man was created & existed in a state of uninterrupted innocence and fellowship with God whereby he lived in righteous liberty.
• Man did not derive his righteousness by works or obedience to any righteous standards; he faced only the loss of spiritual life and righteousness through the disobedience to one command.
• Nevertheless, man, by created nature as a rational being with free will, even in innocence, was vulnerable to temptation. God created us in His image, including a measured degree of independence whereby we may truly respond to and toward Him in mutual relationship. His desire and provision is that we align with His standards for that relationship, but we may resist and reject. 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
