Hates sin, but Loves the sinner

     I don't know about anyone else but when I try to do good, evil is always present.  And when I succumb to the devices of the enemy I always feel horrible and immediately repent.  I know that no sin is greater than the other but it is hard for me as a human to equalize the wrong I do when I feel that some sins have a greater weight than others.  Not excusing our sin by any means but the Word says in Romans 5:8 " But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

     Now who wouldn't serve a God that loves you so much, that he would lay down his life for a friend!  God hates sin, but loves you and I so much that in the midst of our sin against Him, He still loved us enough to die on the cross for us.  We just have to love him enough to abhor evil sin and flee from it to his arms.  It is not enough to just honor God with lip service although he abides in the praises of His people.  We need to honor Him through outward, observable service in order to reach others to motivate them to do the same.  

     There is nothing more to say but "Go, and sin no more." (John 8:11)  Know that God loves you, walk in authority, and when evil is present step boldly and claim, "I shall not fall for there is One who loves me so much that He died for my sins!"
