Human Nature in Its Four Fold State

""Human Nature in Its Four Fold State"" is a theological treatise written by Thomas Boston, a Scottish Presbyterian minister, in the 18th century. The book explores the nature of humanity and its relationship with God, examining the four different states that human nature can exist in: the state of innocence, the state of nature, the state of grace, and the state of glory. Boston argues that all human beings are born in a state of sin and corruption, but can be redeemed through faith in Jesus Christ. He also discusses the importance of living a virtuous life and the consequences of sin. The book is written in a highly intellectual and theological style, and is considered a classic work of Christian literature. It has been praised for its depth of insight into human nature and its ability to inspire readers to live a more virtuous life.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.
