God expects us and enables us to hate sin and love God. Likewise, we are expected to
hate sin and love the sinner. It is not difficult. We simply allow
the Holy Spirit to live and move inside of us. When we no longer hate
sin, we will no longer love God or the sinner.
Hate Sin, Love God
Psalms 97:10
(10) Ye that love the LORD, hate evil:
he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the
hand of the wicked.
Amos 5:14-15
(14) Seek good, and not evil, that ye
may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye
have spoken.
(15) Hate the evil, and love the good,
and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of
hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Matthew 6:19-24
(19) Lay not up for yourselves
treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal:
(20) But lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves do not break through nor steal:
(21) For where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also.
(22) The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of
light.
(23) But if thine eye be evil, thy
whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is
in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
(24) No man can serve two masters: for
either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold
to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Spirit Enables Love
Romans 5:5
Love Obeys
Spirit Enables Love
Romans 5:5
(5) And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy
Ghost which is given unto us.
Love Obeys
1 John 3:22
(22) And whatsoever we ask, we receive
of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that
are pleasing in his sight.
1 John 5:2-3
(2) By this we know that we love the
children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
(3) For this is the love of God, that
we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
