David Servant challenges the common Christian cliché 'God loves the sinner but hates the sin,' pointing out that Scripture reveals God's hatred towards sinners as well. He emphasizes that God's love and hatred are not contradictory but complementary aspects of His character, with His mercy restraining His wrath.

He cautions against the modern trend of emphasizing God's love at the expense of His holiness, urging preachers to present the full counsel of God's Word.
