LOVE AND HATE

Romans 12:9

"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good." ESV

Love is not merely an emotion, it is action. What is in our hearts will show in our actions. Do our actions show genuine love? Abhor is a very strong word. It means hate. Like love, it is not merely an emotion. It is an intense action that comes out of our heart. Do we genuinely hate evil to the point that it shows in our actions? If so, we will be actively destroying evil that comes near us and will be actively clinging to the Lord.

Heavenly Father, we humbly ask that you help us love with sincere hearts and hate evil so that we defeat it by the power of the Holy Spirit. Give us a burning desire to cling to You and all that You have declared good. In Jesus' name, Amen.

HATE EVIL

Sincerity is being genuine, pure, free of any deceit or falseness.

On the other hand, we are to hate evil. Hate is intense, extreme

aversion for something. We are to destroy evil that comes near us with the help of the Lord and then stay close to those things that are good.

Heavenly Father, we ask that you help us to love with sincere hearts and to stand ready to defeat the evil that runs rampant in our world. Help us to cling to all that is good, in Jesus' name.

Read Romans 12:9

"Love must be sincere. Hate what Is evil; cling to what is good." (NIV)

"Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." (KJV)
