93 And now, there was no means to reclaim men from this fallen state which man had brought upon himself because of his own disobedience;

94 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; For, except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect, except it should destroy the work of justice;

95 Now the work of justice could not be destroyed - If so, God would cease to be God.

96 And thus we see that all mankind were fallen; And they were in the grasp of justice, yea, the justice of God which consigned them forever to be cut off from His presence.

97 And now the plan of mercy could not be brought about, except an atonement should be made; Therefore, God Himself atoneth for the sins of the world to bring about the plan of mercy to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God and a merciful God also.

98 Now repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was as eternal as the life of the soul should be, Affixed opposite to the plan of happiness, which was as eternal also as the life of the soul.

99 Now how could a man repent, except he should sin? How could he sin, if there was no law? How could there be a law, save there was a punishment?

100 Now there was a punishment affixed and a just law given which brought remorse of conscience unto man.

101 Now if there was no law given, if a man murdered, he should die, Would he be afraid he should die if he should murder?

102 And also, if there was no law given against sin, men would not be afraid to sin;

103 And if there was no law given, if men sinned, what could justice do? or mercy either? For they would have no claim upon the creature.
