As the world is full of contrasts-light and darkness, joy and sorrow, calm and storm, riches and poverty, cleanliness and filth, health and sickness, life and death-so the Scriptures present to us many opposites.

  1. Abel, the man of confidence; and Cain, the man of conceit (Gen. 4:3-7).
  2. Abraham, the man of faith; and the king of Sodom, the man of the world (Gen. 14:22-24).
  3. Isaac, the man of promise; and Ishmael, the man of the flesh (Gal. 4:29).
  4. Jacob, the man of prayer; and Esau, the man of pleasure (Hosea 12:4; Heb. 12:16).
  5. Moses, the man of God; and Pharaoh, the man of stubbornness (Num. 12:3; Exodus 8:32).
  6. David, the man of consecration; and Saul, the man of compromise (Acts 13:22; 1 Samuel 15:26).
  7. John, the man of fearlessness; and Herod, the man of vacillation (Matt. 14:1-12).
