~Psalm 5:5 — “The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.”
~Psalm 11:5 — “The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.”
~John 3:16 — “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.”
What kind of relationship do you have with God? Do you love Him? Are you indifferent? Indifference is equal to hate because it is opposite of love. God hates sin but loves the “person.” God could not possible hate the sinner because it would contradict:
~Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
If God hated sinners, He would not have sent Christ to die for us “while we were yet sinners.” However, I believe it is quite clear in the above text that God does hate those who are wicked, work iniquity and love violence. Unless they repent from their sins and believe in Jesus Christ as Saviour, God has no choice but to cast them into the lake of fire!
You must understand that it is man’s choice to go to Hell, not God’s. Man can choose to continue being wicked, continue working iniquity and continue to love violence. It is these types of sinners that God hates. God is omniscient (all knowing), therefore, He knows if this sinner will come to repentance or not. Once man chooses not to repent, then God in His righteousness must judge that sinner.
God’s love is so great that He sent His own Son to take on the penalty of man’s sin. How great is that love?! Would you give up your own child for the sins of someone else?
Salvation is a choice. Exactly what have you got to lose if you choose salvation? You will go to Heaven at the Rapture or at your death if you are saved. If you believe the lie that God would not send anyone to Hell, then you will go there. God is a righteous Judge and He will send you there, but only because it was your choice.
