Like his creator, Man was intelligent. He possessed moral
discernment and had free will to choose between right and wrong. God
warned Adam in Genesis 2:17 that if he obeyed God’s law, he would
live—but if he disobeyed, he would die.... Remember 1 Peter 1:18-20, God in his
foreknowledge knew Adam would disobey and need a redeemer.
Certainly, in all of man’s history—there has always been trouble.

Himself from both Israel and all mankind.
