"Not in purity or in holiness merely, for in Paradise man was holy, and he shall be holy when redeemed through the sacrifice of Christ and made an heir of heaven"
- Matthew Simpson
About this Quote
This quote by Matthew Simpson talks to the idea that being holy or pure is insufficient to achieve paradise. According to Simpson, male was currently holy in Paradise, but he lost his way and ended up being lost. For that reason, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, man can be redeemed and end up being an heir to heaven. This implies that redemption can not be made through morality or righteousness alone, but rather a relationship with Christ is essential. Simpson's statement is a pointer that faith in Jesus and the approval of his sacrifice is the only method to protect immortality in heaven.
