On Contrast

“For he that is of God doeth the works of God—his life is the work of God, it is a life which has much that is God-like about it, and he is upheld by the power of God, the ever blessed spirit. But the ungodly man’s life is very different—he lives for himself, he seeks his own pleasure, he hates all that oppose him, he is up in arms against the Lord, and his truth, and all that is pure and good: his spirit is not the spirit of God, but of the evil one.” (1728.363)
