Hate sin, love the Word!

As we strive to be Holy one thing the Word teaches over and over to us is to Love the Word of God and hate sin! This sounds so easy but when we sit down and think about it, why is it so hard to do???

Hate sin:

Romans 12:9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

Love the Word:

Psalm 119:140 Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it.

1 John 2:5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

Luke 11:28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.

Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

So do you hate sin and desire the word of God? It is something that may not come natural and must be learned for the follower of Jesus to grow in holiness. Move in that direction today...it is of utmost importance!
