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 NKJV
God’s heart is both fierce and tender. He hates sin, not out of mere judgment, but because sin destroys what He has created with infinite love. To know what God hates is to understand the depths of His holy passion for justice and purity. Sin is not just a mistake; it is spiritual death, a poison that kills the soul and fractures the intimate relationship God desires with each of us. The call to flee from sin is urgent and life-saving; run from it as if your very existence depends on it, because it does.
But God’s love is even greater. He loves righteousness, mercy, and truth with a love that never fails. He loves you with a love so fierce that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to redeem you, to draw you back from the brink of destruction into the fullness of life. To hold fast to what God loves is to grasp the very life of God Himself. It is to live in the warmth of His grace, the joy of His presence, and the power of His Spirit. God does not desire shallow faith or lukewarm hearts; He longs for your whole heart, your full surrender.
He calls you to a love that transforms, a love that burns away the dross and makes you holy as He is holy.
This is not a burden but a blessing—because in obeying God’s Word, you find true freedom, peace, and purpose.
The Bible is the lamp to your feet and the light to your path (Psalm 119:105). It reveals both the danger of sin and the beauty of holiness. As followers of Him, we hold Scripture as the ultimate authority, the unchanging truth that guides us in every step. Let its words pierce your heart and awaken you to the reality of God’s love and holiness.
Run from what God hates with all your might, not out of fear alone, but because you love the One who gave His life for you. Cling to what God loves as if your soul’s very breath depends on it—because it does. This is the narrow path of life, the way of Jesus Christ, who invites you to walk with Him in love and truth.
Today, choose to hate sin and love God’s holiness with a fierce, tender devotion. Let your life be a radiant testimony to the transforming power of His love.
Live boldly for Christ, for He is worthy of all your devotion.
