How do people with a good outward veneer react when confronted with God's demands?

Les explains that people can keep old Adam under control, but when he is prodded, out he comes. He cites a footnote about a revival at Yale University where many students were experiencing salvation. One young lady was benevolent, helped anybody, and was everybody's friend, yet she had shown no interest. When some girls invited her to the meetings, she would not respond. Finally one said, please come because God loves you and wants to save you. Her temper flared, she stamped her foot, and said, 'I hate God.' Les says this is the perfect example of what people are often up against. They can put on a good veneer, but when really confronted with the demands of a loving God, they show their true colors. The lost person, whether realizing or admitting it, is an enemy of God, not subject to the law of God, and those in the flesh cannot please God.
