Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV)

“There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet

that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.”

“God hates sin just as a father hates a rattlesnake that threatens the safety and life of his child. God loathes evil and diabolic forces that would pull people down to a godless eternity just as a mother hates a venomous spider that is found playing on the soft, warm flesh of her little baby.” Evangelist Billy Graham

Genesis 6:5-9b (NIV)

“The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the LORD said, ‘I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground…’ 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD…9 Noah was a righteous man.”

Sin lessens our love for God

1 John 2:15-16 (NIV)

“Do not love the world or anything in the

  • world. If anyone loves the world, love for the

Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.”

Sin lessens our love for God

“It is apparent to all right-thinking people that there is a lack of depth and reality about the lives of Christians today. Our lives are not God-centered; they are not Christ-

  • centered. We allow other worldly

things to usurp that place.” John Murray

Scottish theologian

God hates sin, so we hate sin

Matthew 18:8-9 (ESV)

“If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it

  • ff and throw it away. It is better for you to enter

life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into the hell of fire.”

Matthew 7:3-5 (NIV)

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
