Jonathan Heng - Love What God Loves, Hate What He Hates (Psalm 45:7 and Proverbs 6:16-19)

“Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows” (Psalm 45:7). Jesus is our joy and delight. Without Him, we are nothing. Some may think that God doesn't hate anything because He is a God of love. But because He is also holy and righteous, He despises and detests wickedness.
We don’t hate people, we hate the evil that they are doing. Evil is deceptive, destructive and deadly. To love righteousness is to forsake and depart from evil. If we love righteousness, and hate wickedness, God will reward us with joy. True righteousness cannot be earned by works. It is not dependent on self-efforts but through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work at the cross. We are to worship Him, not ourselves, and not any other idols. God hates hypocrisy and false worship. There are counterfeit salvation and sanctification, which are abomination to Him. True faith is not following a list of rules and regulations, but it is a way of life empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Many of us are quick to judge others for outward sins, such as when they commit sexual immorality, financial fraudulence or other desires and passions of the flesh. Yet, there are other more “secretive” and subtle inward sins of the heart and spirit, such as pride, lying, gossip and slander, that are just as wicked and abominable in the sight of God. We need to cry out to God, to break our hearts for what breaks His. To love what He loves, and hate what He hates. What are the things He hate?
Let us look at Proverbs 6, verses 16 to 19, “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” From this list of sins, we can see the anatomy of the human body being illustrated, especially the first five signified by physical parts: the eyes, tongue, hands, heart, and feet. These members of the body, and really, our entire being, are to be set apart for the Lord, to love Him and live for Him. To hide God’s Word as treasure in our hearts.
God hates sin, but He loves us enough to warn us to repent from sinful lifestyles and practices. Let us love what God loves, and hate what He hates.

Dear Friend,
We want to take this opportunity to show you God's plan for salvation, according to the Bible. We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. If you are not a Christian and you read this, here's an appeal for you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. To be included in this invitation, you must have a relationship with Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The choice is yours. If you say "yes" to Jesus, here's what you must do,
Admit the fact that you are a sinner, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23); Be willing to repent from disobedience and rebellion against God, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3); Believe that Jesus is your only Saviour, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16); Confess and trust, and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10).
Please pray this prayer and do mean it with all your heart:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I now recognize that I am a sinner and I am in need of salvation. I accept the sacrifice You paid for me on the cross of Calvary and I allow Your precious shed blood to cleanse me. I now surrender myself to You and invite You to be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart. Take full control of my life and help me live and serve You from this moment forward. I ask in the name of Jesus. Amen."
If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a child of God. We encourage you to find fellowship in a Bible believing, Spirit filled church and obtain a copy of the Bible and that you read it diligently so that you will be the kind of Christian God wants you to be.
