Eden Undone : A Biblical Perspective on the Fall of Mankind

By John Calvin

"We should contemplate our miserable condition since the fall of Adam, the sense of which tends to destroy all boasting and confidence, to overwhelm us with shame, and to fill us with real humility. For as God at the beginning formed us after his own image, that he might elevate our minds both to the practice of virtue, and to the contemplation of eternal life; so, to prevent the great excellence of our species, which distinguishes us from the brutes, from being buried in sottish indolence, it is worthy of observation, that the design of our being endued with reason and intelligence is, that leading a holy and virtuous life, we may aspire to the mark set before us of a blessed immortality."
