One, under conviction, was put into a rage, when she heard that her companions had obtained a hope. Another, when rising from her knees without comfort, has often "gritted her teeth against the Savior"— her own expression—because she thought He was showing more favor to others than to her.
These facts are stated, because they illustrate the scripture doctrine, of the enmity of the sinner's heart against God; a doctrine which has
been often dwelt upon in this revival, both in public and in private: and we think every effort ought to be made, to convince the impenitent, that this doctrine is true; that they are, indeed,
what the Apostle affirms they are, "haters of God." |
