 Despisers of God

“He that walketh in his
uprightness feareth the Lord:
but he that is perverse in his
ways despiseth him.”
Prov. 14:2

Here are grace and sin in their
true colours. Grace reigning is a
reverence of God, and gives honour
to Him who is infinitely great and
high and to whom all honour is due.
Sin reigning is no less than a
contempt of God. In this, more than
in any thing, sin appears
exceedingly sinful, that it despises
God, whom angels adore. Those
that despise God’s precepts and
will not be ruled by them, His
promises and will not accept of
them, despise God Himself and all
His attributes.
Here are grace and sin in their
true light. By this we may know a
man that has grace and the fear of
God reigning in him, he walks in
his uprightness. He makes
conscience of his actions; is faithful
both to God and man, and every
stop he makes, as well as every step
he takes, is by rule. Here is one that
honours God.
But, on the contrary, “he that
is perverse in his ways,” that
wilfully follows his own appetites
and passions, that is unjust and
dishonest and contradicts his
profession in his conversation–
however he may pretend to
devotion–he is a wicked man and
will be reckoned with as a despiser
of God Himself. &
—Matthew Henry

Hi LiveforGod ...

Your post definitely ties in with my post ...

[b]Atheist Christopher Hitchens now a U.S. Citizen: Please Pray! ...[/b]
https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19339&forum=48&2

i've met people who don't believe in God, but not anyone whom i'd say really "despises" God in a vitriolic way ... But this man Hitchens does ... Some of the things he says about God make me cringe in serous concern of where he's bound to spend eternity ... i'm amazed at what he says, as i'd be scared to death to do so, which he says is direct proof of a believers not being free ... So i pray for him ...

[color=CC0000]But why i'm really posting here is to tell you how much i like your signiture ...[/color]

[color=CC0000]i find this to be one powerful statement![/color]
