GOD -HATRED
We cannot love God without hating that which he hates. TD97:10
He will not hate his people, but he does hate their sins, and hates them all the more
because they nestle in his children’s bosoms. 738.122
A sinner is disgusting to God. Notwithstanding all the love that he has towards men,
and his desire to bless them, yet sin is a thing which the soul of God abhors: all
unrighteousness is most obnoxious to him. The doing of wrong is a thing which God
cannot endure. He reckons it to be a filthy, loathsome, horrible thing. He says to the
ungodly, “Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.” 2431.447
Solomon tells us of three things that are an abomination unto the Lord, “the sacrifice
of the wicked,” “the way of the wicked,” and even “the thoughts of the wicked.” 2655.627
The Lord is angry with the wicked every day. He hates sin, even a single sin. He will
by no means spare the wicked. He neither closes his eyes against sin, nor will he stay
his hand from the punishment of sin. 3544.617
