{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>But because God foresaw all things, and was therefore not\r\nignorant that man also would fall, we ought to consider this\r\nholy city in connection with what God foresaw and ordained,\r\nand not according to our own ideas, which do not embrace\r\nGod's ordination. For man, by his sin, could not disturb the\r\ndivine counsel, nor compel God to change what He had\r\ndecreed; for God's foreknowledge had anticipated both,—that\r\nis to say, both how evil the man whom He had created good\r\nshould become, and what good He Himself should even thus\r\nderive from him. For though God is said to change His\r\ndeterminations (so that in a tropical sense the Holy Scripture\r\nsays even that God repented<a id=\"FNanchor_86_86\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_86_86\">[86]</a>), this is said with reference to\r\nman's expectation, or the order of natural causes, and not\r\nwith reference to that which the Almighty had foreknown\r\nthat He would do. Accordingly God, as it is written, made\r\nman upright,<a id=\"FNanchor_87_87\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_87_87\">[87]</a> and consequently with a good will. For if\r\nhe had not had a good will, he could not have been upright.\r\nThe good will, then, is the work of God; for God created\r\nhim with it. But the first evil will, which preceded all man's\r\nevil acts, was rather a kind of falling away from the work of\r\nGod to its own works than any positive work. And therefore\r\nthe acts resulting were evil, not having God, but the will\r\nitself for their end; so that the will or the man himself, so\r\nfar as his will is bad, was as it were the evil tree bringing\r\nforth evil fruit. Moreover, the bad will, though it be not in\r\nharmony with, but opposed to nature, inasmuch as it is a vice\r\nor blemish, yet it is true of it as of all vice, that it cannot\r\nexist except in a nature, and only in a nature created out of\r\nnothing, and not in that which the Creator has begotten of\r\nHimself, as He begot the Word, by whom all things were\r\nmade. For though God formed man of the dust of the earth,\r\nyet the earth itself, and every earthly material, is absolutely\r\ncreated out of nothing; and man's soul, too, God created out<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_23\">[Pg 23]</a></span>\r\nof nothing, and joined to the body, when He made man. But\r\nevils are so thoroughly overcome by good, that though they\r\nare permitted to exist, for the sake of demonstrating how the\r\nmost righteous foresight of God can make a good use even of\r\nthem, yet good can exist without evil, as in the true and\r\nsupreme God Himself, and as in every invisible and visible\r\ncelestial creature that exists above this murky atmosphere;\r\nbut evil cannot exist without good, because the natures in\r\nwhich evil exists, in so far as they are natures, are good.\r\nAnd evil is removed, not by removing any nature, or part of\r\na nature, which had been introduced by the evil, but by\r\nhealing and correcting that which had been vitiated and\r\ndepraved. The will, therefore, is then truly free, when it is\r\nnot the slave of vices and sins. Such was it given us by\r\nGod; and this being lost by its own fault, can only be restored\r\nby Him who was able at first to give it. And therefore the\r\ntruth says, \"If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free\r\nindeed;\"<a id=\"FNanchor_88_88\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_88_88\">[88]</a> which is equivalent to saying, If the Son shall save\r\nyou, ye shall be saved indeed. For He is our Liberator,\r\ninasmuch as He is our Saviour.</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK FOURTEENTH.[1]","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-53"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"1ba963d909cd697ccaea24b3947e6a9628fcf90e8e7c85658fb1317101e883d8","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"JHN","chapter":8,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"John viii. 36","verse":36,"verse_end":36}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_88_88","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
