Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

Shouldst thou hate thy Lusts, and love the Lord; and dost thou love thy Lusts, and hate the Lord? I entreat thee, tell me, What hath he done unto thee, that thou shouldst hate him? as Christ reasoned with them that so hated him, that they stoned him; John 10.32. Jesus answered them, saying, Many good works have I showed you from my father, for which of those works do ye stone me? So let me reason with thee; Many a good Work hath Christ done for thee, for which of these dost thou hate him? Hath he not come from Heaven for thee? was he not wounded, beaten, scourged, and suffered death for thee? for which of all these dost thou hate him? hath he not made Salvation possible for thee? dost thou hate him for that? hath not he purchased a Conditional Pardon for thee, dost thou hate him for that? hath not he entreated thee to consider thy own Soul, and to prevent thine own Damnation; dost thou hate him for that? hath he given thee any other cause? ⟨p. 113⟩thou hast many reasons to love him, but no cause to hate him, as Christ himself asserteth. Joh. 15.25. They hated me without a cause, but for that hatred they shall not be punished without cause.
