• Adam had a relationship with God; but the fall broke up the state of innocence, and God “drove out the man” (Gen. 3:24), instead of keeping him in the earthly garden of His delights. The position of man since is that of an outcast from paradise. But Israel were called externally to a place of favor, separate to Jehovah from all the rest of mankind. There was a new trial of man, though of man fallen. Indeed this forms the proper scene of man’s probation: either when in Eden, and there Adam comes before us; or out of Eden, and in due time the Jew manifests his course and issue. (“Hosea 6” by W. Kelly)
