In his famous book, Human Nature in Its Fourfold State, the
Scottish Puritan, Thomas Boston (1676-1732) tells us that the four
states of human nature are (1) The State of Innocence, (2) The
State of Nature, (3) The State of Grace, and (4) The Eternal State.
Boston's discourse offers a fascinating view of human nature. In
his word, "In the way of the gospel, the sinner must stand before
the Lord in an imputed righteousness--but corrupt nature is for an
inherent righteousness; and, therefore, so far as natural men
follow after righteousness, they follow after the law of
righteousness, ' Romans 9:31, 32; and not after the Lord our
righteousness.'" "The infinity of God makes infinite wrath the just
demerit of sin. God is infinitely displeased with sin; and when he
acts, he must act like himself, and show his displeasure by
proportionable means." These two quotes alone should encourage the
reader to devour what follows in the book: those sections on the
state of grace and the eternal state.
