I would never have admitted that, of course. I thought I loved God, was open to the truth, and I probably would have claimed that I was even seeking “a closer walk with God.”
But I was
not a good person, looking for the Savior. I was a bad person, running from the
Savior. Now I know the truth: deep down, I hated Christ. What’s even more
dismaying, all people do. The only reason anyone loves the Savior now is that
God’s grace has overcome our hard, dead, selfish hearts and transformed us to
see, believe, love and obey our now-beloved Lord Jesus.
Why do
people hate Him?
