God Attribute, 38

~ God Hates! ~

 

This Series  ~  This series of posts looks at some of the many attributes of God.  Generally, we move in alphabetical order.

 

Introduction  ~  There is a common statement: “God hates sin but loves the sinner!”  While this phrase is not in Scripture it is an accurate statement based upon the Bible’s clear teaching. 

 

Scripture  ~  “These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren” (Proverbs 6:16-19). 

 

Quote  ~  “You may say, ‘God doesn’t hate anyone.  God is love.’  No, my friend, you need to understand something.  Jesus Christ taught, the prophets taught, the apostles taught this; that apart from the grace of God revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord the only thing left for you is the wrath, the fierce anger of God because of your rebellion and your sin.”  Paul Washer
