Fragment: Responsibility to God

It is not only pretty morality that you want: there is the question of your responsibility to God. It is not only a matter of mending your manners, but of getting your guilt put away. We- are both guilty and responsible, and at the same time enemies to God. What we are has been brought out; our enmity has been proved; and that we can hate God, shows that there is some relation between us and God.
(J. N. D.)
