Thought For Today: “A Hatred for Sin”

Because God is holy He hates sin. Concerning the sins committed by Israel, the Lord said, “All these are things that I hate.” (Zachariah 8:17)

The more we grow in holiness, the more our hatred for sin will grow.

In Psalm 119:104 the Psalmist said, “Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate every false way of life.”

God hates sin; therefore, we need to start hating sin as well and quit trifling and excusing our sins away.

I’ve heard it said this way. “It was sin that wove the crown of thorns that drew blood from Jesus’ head. It was sin that caused His hands, feet, and side to be pierced. It was sin that brought Him to Calvary, the cross, and the tomb.”

Now do you see why we should hate sin!
