Can a kind, benevolent person actually hate God?

Les explains that most people do not realize they are enemies of God. He recounts a footnote about a revival at Yale University where many students were experiencing salvation. One young lady was benevolent, helped anyone under any circumstance, and was everybody's friend, yet she showed no interest. When some girls invited her and said God loves her and wants to save her, her temper flared, she stamped her foot, and said, "I hate God." Les sees this as the perfect example: people can keep old Adam under control, but when he is prodded, out it comes. They can put on a good veneer, but when confronted with the demands of a loving God, they show their true colors. The lost person, whether he realizes it or admits it, is an enemy of God, an enmity, not subject to the law of God and unable to please God. Believers, however, are not in the flesh.
