Mind, Character, and Personality Vol. 2 - Second Advent Revival

heaven rests upon us continually, we shall represent Christ. It was the righteousness
revealed in His life that distinguished Christ from the world and called forth its
hatred.--MS 97, 1909. {2MCP 527.4}
Hatred Springs From Desire for Revenge.--Satan contested every claim put forth
by the Son of God and employed men as his agents to fill the Saviour's life with
suffering and sorrow. The sophistry and falsehood by which he had sought to hinder the
work of Jesus, the hatred manifested through the children of disobedience, his cruel
accusations against Him whose life was one of unexampled goodness, all sprang from
deep-seated revenge. The pent-up fires of envy and malice, hatred and revenge, burst
forth on Calvary against the Son of God, while all heaven gazed upon the scene in
silent horror.--GC 501 (1888). {2MCP 528.1}
Hatred Toward Parents (words to a young woman). --Especially have you a work
to do to confess with humiliation your disrespectful course toward your parents. There is
no reason for this unnatural manifestation toward them. It is purely a satanic spirit, and
you have indulged in it because your mother has not sanctioned your course. Your
feelings amount not only to positive dislike, decided disrespect, but to hatred, malice,
envy, jealousy, which are manifested in your actions, causing them suffering and
privation. You do not feel like making them happy, or even comfortable. Your feelings
are changeable. Sometimes your heart softens, then it closes firmly as you see some
fault in them, and the angels cannot impress it with one emotion of love. {2MCP 528.2}
An evil demon controls you, and you are hateful and hating. God has marked your
disrespectful words, your unkind acts to your parents, whom He has commanded you to
honor, and if you fail to see this great sin and repent of it, you will grow darker until you
will be left to your evil ways.--2T 82, 83 (1868).
529 {2MCP 528.3}
Satan Delights in Controlling Minds of Children.-- What a grief it is to see
children of God-fearing parents unruly and disobedient, unthankful and self-willed, full
of determination to have their own way, regardless of the inconvenience or sorrow it
causes their parents. Satan takes delight in ruling the hearts of children, and if he is
permitted, he will inspire them with his own hateful spirit.--YI, Aug 10, 1893. (MYP 333.)
{2MCP 529.1}
Spirit of Hate Reacts.--No one can hate his brother, or even his enemy, without
placing himself under condemnation. --YI, Jan 13, 1898. {2MCP 529.2}
Revenge Does Not Bring Satisfaction.--Remember that a revengeful speech
never makes one feel that he has gained a victory. Let Christ speak through you. Do
not lose the blessing that comes from thinking no evil.-- 7T 243 (1902). {2MCP 529.3}
Beclouds the Perceptive Powers.--Pride, self-love, selfishness, hatred, envy, and
jealousy have beclouded the perceptive powers, and the truth, which would make you
wise unto salvation, has lost its power to charm and control the mind.--2T 605, 606
(1871). {2MCP 529.4}
