Heavenly angels more fully opened to our first parents the plan that had been devised for their salvation. Adam and his companion were assured that notwithstanding their great sin, they were not to be abandoned to the control of Satan. The Son of God had offered to atone, with His own life, for their transgression. A period of probation would be granted them, and through repentance and faith in Christ they might again become the children of God.

Himmelske engle forklarede frelsesplanen mere indgående for vore første forældre. Adam og hans ledsager fik forsikring om, at de trods deres store synd ikke ville blive overladt til Satans herredømme. Guds Søn havde tilbudt at sone deres synd med sit eget liv. Der ville blive givet dem en prøvetid, og ved anger og ved at tro på Kristus kunne de atter blive Guds børn.
