For the past 30-40 years, the overwhelming cliche about God has been: God is love. Churches, youth camps, VBS programs, men's and women's retreats, and Bible colleges in all denominations, have maintained that one message: God is love. The message of God's love is soothing to those who are "down and out." It is encouraging to those who have lost hope. It is comforting to those who have lost a loved one, or a job, or their way. I am convinced that saying "God loves you" to people is the best message you can give them. Everyone wants to know that they are loved. But, what the church has failed to remind people ... especially in this generation ... is that while God certainly is love, He also has the capacity to hate. God hates sin! And in Proverbs 6, we are told that there are specifically six sins that He hates: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to mischief (evil), and those who sow discord among brethren. Yes, God does hate. But, in His great love for man He sent His only Begotten Son, Jesus, to die on the cross so that we can have God's forgiveness over our sins which He hates. Have you experienced God's love in your life?
