Evidently this is a picture which shows that those who have come to a knowledge of the divine plan do not mourn because God sentenced our first parents to death, but rather that they will rejoice at this manifestation of justice when they understand that it was necessary in order that the great plan of redemption should be carried out as outlined by Jehovah from the beginning.

And when we see and appreciate this divine plan we can truly exclaim: "Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints" .-- Revelation 15:3.
MEN'S SOULS [53]Against what did God manifest his justice?
Did he sentence the body or the soul of man to death?
Is it true that the soul of man is immortal; and if so, how could God put it to death?
[54]It is profitable to define terms before attempting to discuss them.
The definition given should be supported by proof from the Bible.

This we will attempt to do before answering the question here asked.
[55]Immortal means that which cannot die; something that cannot be destroyed in death.

Soul means a moving, breathing, sentient creature, or being; a creature or being that possesses faculties and uses them.

To understand whether or not a soul is immortal it is first essential that we determine from the Bible what constitutes a soul.
