9 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Man Must Pay Terrible Price When
He Disregards Laws of the Lord
Scripture: Genesis, Chapters 3-9
Br WILLIAM E. GILROY. D. D.
The evidence of man s sin ana
failure is everywhere about us
today. Two world wars within
bur own time provide a suffi
cient and striking commentary
upon the Genesis story of the fall
of man; and the revelations of
World War II have shown to
what incredible depths of base
ness, violence, and cruelty men
Can descend.
The essential truth of the Gen
esis story, with its allegory of the
serpent, and the apple, and the
7ree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil, is that man sinned and fell,
and that, the essence of sin is dis
obedience to the divine command.
Genesis represents man s sin as
eating of the forbidden fruit and
the fact that in his disobedience
man became conscious of wrong,
and a moral being, capable of
distinguishing between good and
evil, has led some to say that "the
fall was a fall upward." In line
With this, is the notion that sin
is a sort of lesser good, a factor
in human progress, man learn
ing by his mistakes, as a burnt
child dreads the fire.
. This was all very plausible, and
pleasant; but we don't hear much
of it today. It doesn't accord
with the Bible or the facts of life.
We see sin, not as a "lesser

good," but as something inher
ently and desperately wicked.
When man disregards God's com
mandments we see how fiendish
ly ftt can treat his fellowmen.
There is no fall upward in such
fiendishness.
We are conscious today, loo, bf
the consequences of man's sin.
Adam and Eve lost the Idyllic
Garden of Eden, but can we not
see in that a symbol of the Eden
of peace, and prosperity, and
contentment and happiness, that
man has lost today through sin
and selfishness, and hatred and
strife? The knowledge and in
ventive genius that ought to have
blessed man .and added to his
happiness have been turned to
discovering and developing new
er and more powerful weapons
of destruction and ways of using
them. It is of no use simply to
wring our hands and deplore war;
we hove discovered that sinners
and aggressors have to be stop
.ped But wars arise from sin and
wrongdoing, and man pays a ter
rific price for disregarding God's
way of peace, and righteousness
and love. It is estimated that 80
million people have lost, their
lives in World War II, and there
can be no estimate of the sacri
fices and sufferings of other mil
lions of the living.
But over against man's sin and
failure stand God's promises, and
God's redeeming grace. If , it
were not for these, man must
have perished completely iohg
ago. The world is not all evil.
War itself brings out the human
heritage of courage, devotjon to
a cause, and willingness to del
that others may live.
Man has sinned and failed; but
God is not dead. His promises
are fulfilled in countless num
bers, who love Him and whb love
their fellowmen. Sodom might
have been spared, had there been
a few righteous men within its
wicked gates. There are many
righteous in this war-stricken;
sinful world of today, and they
are the hope and assurance of Its
salvation.
