Righteous Determination Forges a Pathway to God’s Kingdom

Righteous Determination Forges a Pathway to God’s Kingdom
“In with the river sunk, and with it rose Satan” (IX. 74, 75), 1866, by Gustav Doré for John Milton’s “Paradise Lost.” Engraving. (Public Domain).

Our environment is filled with things that test our character. Sometimes, we successfully overcome these things, and other times, we fall short and fail. Yet failure isn’t necessarily the end of the road; through determination, we can still find ourselves favorable to God.

We continue our story of John Milton’s “Paradise Lost.” Raphael has finished describing the heavens to Adam, and Adam has shared what he remembers about when he was created. Then Raphael returns to heaven.
