John Gill addresses the concept of God's hatred, clarifying that while God does not hate His creatures, He does hate sin and the actions of sinners. He emphasizes that God's hatred is not a passion like human emotions but is rooted in His perfect holiness and justice. Gill explains that God's love for righteousness necessitates a hatred for unrighteousness, and this is reflected in His will to punish sin and sinners. He also discusses the distinction between God's love for the elect and His comparative hatred for the non-elect, which is based on His sovereign will rather than any inherent malice. Ultimately, God's hatred is directed towards sin, while His love remains steadfast for His chosen people.

Robert Wurtz II delves into the Book of Romans, emphasizing that circumcision in the flesh is not a guarantee of salvation, but rather a transformed heart through a born-again experience. He explores the faith of Abraham, highlighting how God recognized his faith and identified it with the sign of circumcision. Wurtz discusses the righteousness of God, explaining that man's unrighteousness actually magnifies God's righteousness, and that righteousness can only be obtained through God's imputation. He addresses the misconception of doing evil for good to come, emphasizing that God does not condone sin to showcase His mercy.
