Dr. Jeff Mayfield discusses a Jonathan Edwards’ sermon, East of Eden, providing more than the following highlights:
- Adam and Eve lost fellowship with God via the fall
- They then were at enmity with God, He viewed them as enemies
- Food came by the sweat of their brow
The Lord Jesus Christ’s atoning work and righteous life afforded:
- Restoration of fellowship and all that entails
- Via the mercy Christ’s work affords us we may be saved from God’s wrath
Dr. Mayfield divided his discussion into two videos, each about 4 minutes in length:
Video 1: Our great loss of fellowship:
Video 2: Why the gospel is such good news:
