Human Nature in Its Four Fold State

""Human Nature in Its Four Fold State"" is a theological book written by Thomas Boston, a Scottish Presbyterian minister, in the 18th century. The book explores the four states of human nature: the state of innocence, the state of nature, the state of grace, and the state of glory. Boston argues that all humans are born in a state of sin and that salvation can only be achieved through faith in Jesus Christ. He also discusses the importance of repentance and the role of the Holy Spirit in the process of sanctification. The book is written in a clear and accessible style and has been widely read by Christians of various denominations. It is considered a classic work of Reformed theology and has had a significant influence on evangelical thought.There are four things very necessary to be known by all that would see heaven: One, what man was in the state of innocence as God made him; two, what he is in the state of corrupt nature, as he has unmade himself; three, what he must be in the state of grace as created in Christ Jesus unto good works, and four, what he will be in his eternal state, as made by the Judge of all, either perfectly happy, or completely miserable, and that forever. Contents: The State of Innocence, The State of Nature; The State of Grace; The Eternal State.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
