1. Taught from childhood not to hate others -- Even enemies (Lk. 6:27-28; Matt. 5:43-44).

2. On other hand - Lk. 14:26 (Comparative).

3. Jno. 3:16 - God so loved the world...Yet, God hates sin - Prov. 6:16.

a. Hate - "To hate (personally):-enemy, foe, ...odious" (Strong's Hebrew & Chaldee Dictionary, 119).

1) No friendship with - Prov. 3:32.

2) No delight in - Prov. 11:20.

3) "A right feeling of aversion from what is evil" (Vine, II:198). Heb. 1:9

b. Abomination - "Disgusting, an abhorrence" Strong's, 123. Detestable, reprehensible. [Hab. 1:13 - God's holiness] (1 Pet. 1:15-16)

4. Re. Our own sin & the sin around us: Do we hate sin like God does? Should we? How?

I. OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD SIN MUST BE LIKE GOD'S - Psa. 97:10; 119:104; 139:20-24 (pure, absolute, intense hatred).

A. When We Do Not Hate Sin We Do Not Fear Of God - Prov. 8:13; cf. Acts 10:35.

B. Our Hatred Of Sin Reveals Itself In Our Conduct - Jer. 44:4-5.

-Unless we repent of sins / separate ourselves from it, we do not hate it!

C. There Will Be A Corresponding Love For Good - Amos 5:14-15; Rom. 12:9.

II. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: WE ARE TO HATE ANY THING & EVERYTHING WHICH IS SIN.

- 1 Jno. 5:17; Col. 3:17; Matt. 7:23; Jude 23

A. A True Commitment To Not Love The World - 1 Jno. 2:15-17.

1. Wear modest (decent) dress (1 Tim. 2:9-10) - Shame of indecency - Jer. 8:12.

2. Put away works of flesh (Gal. 5:19-21) - Such conduct is out of the question! Eph. 5:3-5

3. 1 Pet. 4:1-5 - Have the mind of Christ - Cease from sin! No longer live...to the lusts of men...the desire of the Gentiles....

B. Refuse Fellowship With Error & Evil - Psa. 26:1-5.

1. Walk in truth, not evil - Eph. 5:7-11.

2. 2 Cor. 6:14-18 - Come out & be separate!

3. More & more brethren have an aversion to obeying this:

a. Work of the church is added to - Many more look approvingly upon those involved (accept w/o objection).

b. Worship of the church - "No need to make an issue out of it." -(Instru. music, women preachers, etc.).

c. Fellowship w/ the unscripturally remarried & those who teach them to remain in it (Matt. 19:9) - "Let them alone - Can work together." (1 Cor. 5:11) Unity in diversity!

4. 2 Jno. 9-11 - Hatred of sin will compel us to obey this command!

C. A Genuine Aversion To Error - Psa. 101:3.

1. Determination to oppose false teachers - Gal. 2:4-5.

2. Some try to not fellowship sin/error, while silently accepting those who teach &/or practice doctrines of error!

3. Today: "Let brother so and so preach/hold meetings - Just stay silent on the controversial topic!"

-This approach is being taken by some who believe the truth, some who believe false doctrine, & some who will not teach against false doctrine.

4. Rom. 16:17-18 - Mark & avoid those advocating error! WHY?

a. Causes division & stumbling!

b. 2 Tim. 2:16-18 - False teachers identified so their work will not grow!

5. We do not hate error when we allow those who teach error to go unopposed! - 2 Tim. 4:2; Jude 3

Conclusion

1. Some will say this lesson is too narrow, too strict, too judgmental.

2. But, like God, we are to have no friendship with & take no delight in sin - In any of its forms!

3. Like God, there is a "time to hate" (Eccl. 3:8). The time to hate sin is now!
