4. Hatred of God and corruptness of
life are the motive forces which produce persecution. It is hard bondage to be
a “worker of
iniquity”; those who
have no knowledge choose such slavery, but those who are taught of God cry to
be rescued from it. The same ignorance which keeps men bondsmen to evil, makes
them hate the freeborn sons of God; hence they seek to eat them up as theyeat bread—daily, ravenously, as though it were an everyday matter to
oppress the saints of God. While thus preying, they forswear all praying, and
in this act consistently, for how could they hope to be heard while their hands
are full of blood?
