In this sermon Mr. Smith points out that in Genesis 1 after the creation of mankind, God looked at the creation and said it was very good. So the question then is where did human nature come from? Mr. Smith shows that Lucifer corrupted his nature to become Satan. then in turn Satan deceived Eve and this lead to the corruption of human nature. The good news is that with God's help we can overcome our human nature and develop the nature of God that will allow us to dwell with God for all eternity.
