A summary of the beliefs of the Christadelphians

statement of.faith (continued)

III.—That the appearance of Jesus of Nazareth on the earth was necessitated by the position and state into which the human race had been brought by the circumstances connected with the first man.—1 Corinthians 15:21, 22; Romans 5:12–19; Genesis 3:19; 2 Corinthians 5:19–21.

IV.—That the fist man was Adam, whom God created out of the dust of the ground as a living soul, or natural body of life, “very good” in kind and condition, and placed him under a law through which the continuance of life was contingent on obedience.—Genesis 2:7; 18:27; Job 4:19; 33:6; 1 Corinthians 15:46–49; Genesis 2:17.

V.—That Adam broke this law, and was adjudged unworthy of immortality, and sentenced to return to the ground from whence he was taken—a sentence which defiled and became a physical law of his being, and was transmitted to all his posterity.—Genesis 3:15–19, 22, 23; 2 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 7:24; 2 Corinthians 5:2–4; Romans 7:19–23; Galatians 5:16, 17; Romans 6:12; 7:21; John 3:6; Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:2; Psalm 51:5; Job 14:4.

VI.—That God, in His Kindness, conceived a plan of restoration which, without setting aside His just and necessary law of sin and death, should ultimately rescue the race from destruction, and people the earth with sinless immortals.— Revelation 21:4; John 3:16; 2 Timothy 1:10; 1 John 2:25; 2 Timothy 1:1; Titus 1:2; Romans 3:26; John 1:29.

VII.—That He inaugurated this plan by making promise to Adam, Abraham, and David, and afterwards elaborated it in greater detail through the prophets.—Genesis 3:15; 22:18; Psalm 89:34–37; 33:5; Hosea 13:14; Isaiah 25:7–9; 51:1–8; Jeremiah 23:5.
