Can You Solve This Puzzle?

I found this in a box of my things from high school:

Can you solve this puzzle?  Write your guess in the comment box.

This puzzle was written by a lady in California in response to an offer from a gentleman in Philadelphia that he would pay anyone $1,000 who could write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to do so and paid the $1,000. The answer is one word, and it appears only four time in the Bible.  Can you figure this one out???

God made Adam out of the dust
But thought it best to make me first
so I was made before man
to answer God's most holy plan.
A living being I became
Adam gave me my name
I from his presence then withdrew
and more of Adam never knew.
I did my maker's law obey
Nor ever went from it astray.
Thousands of miles I go in fear
But seldom on earth appear.
For purpose wise which God did see
He put a living soul in me.
A soul from me God did claim
And took from me that soul again
So when from me that soul had fled
I was the same as when first made
And without hands or feet or soul
I traveled on from pole to pole
I labored hard by day, by night
To fallen men I gave light.
Thousands of people, young and old
Will by my death, great light behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive
The scripture I cannot believe
Although my name there is found
they are to me an empty sound.
My fear of death doth trouble me
Real happiness I'll never see
To heaven I shall never go
or hell below.
Now when these lines you do read
Go search your Bible with all speed
For that my name is written there
I do honestly to you declare.

WHO AM I?
