Twelve Blessed Consequences of Our Reconciliation with God

by Jeremiah Burroughs

The First Consequence

Firstly, from this reconciliation follows peace with all the creatures in the world. Whereas before, not only was God an enemy, but all the creatures were also enemies: the good creatures, the ill creatures, even your companions whom you considered friends; the heavens, the earth, the beasts in the field, the stones in your house—all were your enemies. Not the least creature in the world was exempt from being part of the host of God, ready and poised to avenge God’s quarrel against you.
