Evil people hate the good wicked people hate righteous people. They don't like righteous people
They don't like people that are preaching the Word of God because it reproves them despisers of those that are good
They despise the good and when they see somebody that's not like them that's better than them when you're living a righteous and godly life
You're better
God is more pleased with you than he is with some heathen some
Reprobate some wicked ungodly sinner who scoffs at the things of God the wicked when they see the good they despise them
They can't just let it go. No, they despise them and they have to actually take counsel against them
They have to conspire and how to destroy them and notice how they went about it with Steven
We're gonna suborn these guys. We're gonna set up these false witnesses
We're gonna stir up this group of people because truth cannot be resisted outright because the truth cannot be fought because it's the truth
So when wicked people come up against the truth
They have to start scheming how to make the good look bad and drag them down and get rid of them and it's the same
Playbook that the devil's been using forever and he's still using it today
