God does not wish the death of his creation.

Adam ate the forbidden fruit and was driven from Paradise.


He sat outside, weeping bitterly:

“Woe to me! What will become of me, a worthless man


I disobeyed one command of my Master and lost every good thing!

O holy Paradise, planted for me by God, and closed by the weakness of Eve,

grant that I may once again gaze on the flowers of your gardens!”


The Savior said to him:

“I do not wish the death of My creation!

I desire that all should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth,

for him who comes to Me I shall never cast out!”
