There are certain aspects to the character of a person that bring about reactions in other persons but more so in himself for anything that is the antithesis of who he is.
"When the wicked comes in [to the depth of evil], he becomes a contemptuous despiser [of all that is pure and good], and with inner baseness comes outer shame and reproach." Proverbs 18:3, Amplified
When a man immerses himself so far into that which is evil, he will have no choice but to despise all that is good and godly. God is not the antithesis of Satan, that needs to be understood; nor is He the antithesis of sin. To call Him such would be to place Him on an equal or lower level than Satan or sin. It is what God represents that becomes the antithesis of the sinner. The character of God threatens the sinner in that He wants to depose the sinner from the throne of his own heart. Shame and reproach come upon the wicked one because he has no part with God, he brings the shame and reproach upon himself and he wants to blame the One he wants nothing to do with. To be evil and wicked seems to be much more work than serving the Lord. Surrender is the only choice for humanity. God will eventually depose humanity, but not from the throne of his heart. God will come again and rule on this earth just as it should have been in the beginning.
