Scripture About Hate & Evil

 The Bible speaks about two kinds of hate: a Godly hatred of evil and sin, and a sinful hatred of people, which is forbidden and considered a form of spiritual murder. Believers are commanded to "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you", to put away "bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking... with all malice", and to "hate evil" in their hearts instead.

A heart issue with deadly consequences: 

Hatred is seen as a deep heart issue, with 1 John 3:15 stating that anyone who hates his brother is a murderer.

Acceptable Hatred (Godly Hatred of Evil) 

• Hate evil: The Bible encourages believers to "hate evil". 
• Hate sin: Just as God hates sin, believers should also grow to hate hypocrisy, godlessness, and wicked deeds. 
• A sign of right standing with God: Loving God involves hating the things that are contrary to His character and will. Visit:prayerscircle1.com
