1671 Evangelism Puritan Classic -The HOLINESS of God is against you. He is not only angry with you-so He may be with His children-but He has a fixed habitual displeasure against you. God's nature is infinitely contrary to sin, and so He cannot delight in a sinner outside of Christ. Oh what a misery is this, to be out of the favor, yes, under the hatred of God- that God, who can as easily lay aside His nature and cease to be God, as not be contrary to you and detest you, except you be changed and renewed. Oh sinner, how dare you think of the bright and radiant sun of purity-or the beauties, the glory of holiness in God-- 'The stars are not pure in his sight.' 'He humbles himself to behold things that are done in heaven' -Job 25-5- Psalm 113-6-. Oh those all-searching eyes of His- What do they spy in you- and have you no saving interest in Christ-that He should plead for you-- I think He should hear you crying out, astonished, with the Bethshemites, 'Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God--' -1 Sam 6-20-
