Verse 17— Therefore to him who knoweth. They sin who know by God's revealed will what to do, and the doing of which is to do good, and refuse to do or neglect to do it. The best reason in the world herein appears. Submission to the divine will is required, if divine favor is expected, it is and can be nothing short of rebellion. Rebellion is sin. This is unquestioned. By it the angels fell. Intelligent creatures made in the image of God can not indulge in rebellion with impunity. Let no one be deceived. God is not mocked. Especially let Chris­tians guard well all the avenues of approach, for they have to do with subtle enemy— the great enemy of souls.
