"Christ does not lessen the claims of the law. In unmistakable language He
presents obedience to it as the condition of eternal life--the same condition
that was required of Adam before his fall."Christ's Object Lessons p.391 E.G.W.
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for
in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 2:17
