Does the Lord require good will from a person in hating sin?
If you don’t hate first, you won’t be able to love. If you do not hate sin, then you cannot be a doer of enmity, as Scripture says: turn away from evil and do good (Ps. 36:27). All this requires volition. Adam, being in paradise, transgressed the commandment of God, and Job, sitting on the dunghill, preserved it: from this it follows that God requires good will from man, so that man constantly preserves good will in himself.
