Love and wrath.

"It is only of God that what man comes to experience in covenant with him is favour. It is not always so, not by a long way in all the supposed or actual experience of man. Even in his experience of what comes to him from God, man can be blind, or half blind, and can therefore make mistakes and can find terror and destruction in what God has allotted and given as supreme benefit. And necessarily the benefit offered him by God can in fact and objectively become terror and destruction if he flees from God and opposes him. Even the divine favour will then take on the aspect of wrath. God's Yes will then become a No and his grace judgement. The light itself will blind him and plunge him into darkness. Life will be to him death." p 41
