GOD'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS SIN.

Many have argued that how can a God who is love hate.Many find it difficult to understand how God can love ,and at the same time hate.God is love,this is an undisputed truth.The main character of God is love.His love for us is unconditional.Through this love we receive forgiveness of our sins.There is no way we can stand righteous before God if not for his grace and love.Through this love we also receive salvation and receive internal life(john3:16).The love of God is what forms the foundation of christianity.Love is everything in christianity.It is the ultimate.In the same way God expects us to love eachother.He experts christians to show love to their neighbours. At the same time God also hates .One thing he explicitely hates is sin.He loves the sinner but hates sin.He abhors sin,because he is holy. Rom1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; To be holy is to be without sin.How then can a God who is holy associate himself with sin?never.This is the reason why our sins always seperates us from him.Sin is like a barrier seperating us from God.In Romans 1,we withness the responds of God to sin.He gave them up to their sinful desires.Their evil nature compelled God to give them over to their sins and thus face the consequencies of their misdeeds.God has given man the power of choice and he would not force man to choose him.Therefore we are judged according to the choices we make.The only reason we are called God's children is by grace.There is a need to constantly pray for forgiveness when we sin. When we confess our sins and repent of it we get back to God again.Sin must never be a barrier between us and God.We must always run to him when we sin and ask for forgiveness and not away from him.
