Q. 27. What misery did the fall bring upon mankind?
Question. What misery did the fall bring upon mankind?
Answer. The fall brought upon mankind the loss of communion with God, his displeasure and curse; so as we are by nature children of wrath, bond slaves to Satan, and justly liable to all punishments in this world, and that which is to come.
