Category: Hatred

Hatred towards anything but sin and evil is wrong; it is certainly a work of the flesh and a manifestation of spiritual heart disease. But, God’s word contains the cure. It teaches us that if we would rid our lives of this and other sins, then we must repent of them, resolve to forsake them, and diligently seek to bear the fruits of the spirit. Usually sin won’t easily leave us. For many it is a constant struggle to keep the old man crucified; but the task is well worth the effort. The rewards and blessings both in this life and in the next far outweigh any hardships which we might incur as we are about our Father’s business.
