Chapter 2 Summary
-
Salvation is free. Men are instructed sufficiently that they know good from evil. The law is given to men and by the law no flesh is justified; or by the law, all men are cut off and they perish from that which is good and become miserable forever. Redemption cometh in ad through the Holy Messiah. He offereth himself a sacrifice for sin to answer the ends of the law unto those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit. How great the importance to make these things known. All men will stand before God to be judged and there is happiness and punishment affixed in opposition to answer the ends of the attonement. There must be opposition in all things otherwise, reighteousness could not be brought to pass. Men are free to choose. Men are commanded to repent. Look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit and not choose eternal death...
