What God Hates

The fear the Lord is to hate evil,  pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way and the froward mouth, do I hate. -- Proverbs 8:13

From our human standpoint some sins--sins like murder, assault, or stealing--are worse than others. But the Bible doesn't tell us which sin is worst in God's eyes, and the reason is because God hates all sin. God is absolutely pure and holy; even the smallest sin is evil in His sight.

I'm afraid we have largely lost sight of the holiness and purity of God today. This is one reason why we tolerate sin so easily and casually dismiss so many sins as minor or insignificant. It is also the reason why we ignore sin in our lives and neglect to repent of it.

We need a new vision of who God is and who we are as sinners in His sight. No matter how good we think we are, God's judgment still stands: "There is none who does good, no, not one" (Romans 3:12).

But God loves us despite our sin, and He yearns to forgive us and welcome us into His family forever. Don't excuse your sin or tolerate it any longer, but repent of it and, with God's help, begin following Christ every day.
