Hatred
Knowledge Is Not To Be Despised over Imagination
Proverbs 1:7. Someone that uses their imagination and has no knowledge is a fool. God is the source of all knowledge while imagination comes from the minds of man. Imagination without the knowledge of God leads to disobedience, sin, and eventual eternal death (Hell). God's knowledge enables us to make right choices that line up with the Word of God and eternal life. With the knowledge of God we can fulfill our Creator's purpose. Imagination is a gift of God, but it must be grounded in knowledge and wisdom that comes from God.
How To Trust - Trust God's Word
Isaiah 30:12. When we ask how to trust someone, we really need to be asking how do we trust God. Every time we put our trust in man instead of God and His Word, we will be let down. In fact, when you are putting your trust in someone or something else, you are basically saying that you do not trust God. God as our creator tells us in His Word, the Bible, to trust Him. When we do not totally rely on Him, we are basically despising His Word. We are trusting in our own strength and diverting from God's purpose in our lives.
About Freedom – Being Subject To Human Government
1 Peter 2:16. In discussions about freedom, most Christians would agree that God desires us to be a free people. God allows us to make free choice, but what should we do when we are not in agreement with our Government? What should we do when it appears that our Government is at odds with Jesus’ teachings?
What Is Love Not?
1 Corinthians 13:5. Love is never inpatient, mean, envies, prideful, short-lived, or self-serving. Many people think of love as a two-way agreement with if and then statements. They say, " If you love me or take care of me or satisfy me or say good things about me or give me a lot of money or maintain your beauty, then I will love you." This is not love.
No One Can Blot Out God's Truth
John 7:7. The only answer to our human situation and our sin nature is Jesus. God is a righteous God that punishes sin with death and destruction. Because God loves us so, Jesus' act on the cross took on our punishment for our sin so that we could be saved. All we need to do is accept Jesus as our Savior. This is the only answer to God's righteousness. Because of our sin nature, we can never be perfect by ourselves. To hate God and deny His Truth will only result in our early death and destruction.
Our Hatred Of God Is Rooted In Our Sin Nature
Proverbs 29:10. From God's perspective we either love Him or hate Him. When we put things above God and do things that displease Him, our sin nature is telling God we hate Him and hate anything that is of His righteous. Our hating of God's righteousness is most obvious when righteousness gets in the way of us enjoying our sin.
You Can Serve Only One Master
Matthew 6:24. The Bible teaches us that we cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."). We either serve God or serve sin (things not of God). We cannot choose to serve both. If we love God, we will hate sin. If we love sin, we will hate God.
Sin Unto Death
1 John 3:14, 15 says, "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." When John spoke these words he was talking to fellow believers. He was saying that we were all on the path of death because of our sin nature. Then because we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are now on the path of eternal life.
