Believers Hate Evil
Hate what is evil.
Romans 12:9, niv
Evil is the antithesis of holiness and therefore the antithesis of godliness. So the child of God hates evil because God hates evil (paraphrase of Prov 8:13).
If you truly love God you will fervently hate every form of evil. Because he loved God so much, David resolved that “a perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know no evil” (Ps 101:4, nasb). The faithful Christian should never compromise with evil.
MacArthur, J. (2001). Truth for today : A daily touch of God's grace (Page 209). Nashville, Tenn.: J. Countryman.
Lessons Learned: God is holy and he calls us to be holy. If we love God and want to please Him and glorify Him, we must be holy. We cannot tolerate evil and must despise it. Evil must not have any room in our lives.
Applications: Those who love God will hate evil. God is good, He is the opposite of evil. Concentrate on loving God, serving God, pleasing Him, obeying Him, and glorifying Him. Then you will be unable to have room for evil in your life.
Prayer Subjects: Pray for a real love for God. Pray for a desire to trust and obey Him. Pray for a mind to hate evil because God hates evil and to love God and please Him instead.
