P. 44
“And you hath he quickened, who were dead
in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past
ye walked according to the course of this
world, according to the prince of the power of
the air, the spirit that now worketh in the
children of disobedience: Among whom also
we all had our conversation in times past in
the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of
the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature
the children of wrath, even as others”
Ephesians 2:1-3.
“Selfishness is the great law of our
degenerate nature. Selfishness occupies the
place in the soul, where Christ should sit
enthroned” {ST, June 2, 1887}.
When did this take place in your life? It
happened 6,000 years ago, in the Garden of
Eden, when Adam sinned and selfishness
took the place of love; and by the law of
heredity, every one of us is born with
selfishness enthroned in human nature.
