Manage episode 501520172 series 3625879
Ecclesiastes 3:8 teaches that for Christians, there is "a time to love and a time to hate," challenging us to align our hearts with what God loves and hates as part of authentic discipleship.
• Scripture calls us to "let love be genuine" and "abhor what is evil" (Romans 12:9)
• Modern culture has distorted biblical understanding of both love and hate
• 1 John 4 reminds us that "God is love" and defines love through Christ's sacrifice
• Jesus commanded us to love God with everything and our neighbors as ourselves
• Christians are explicitly commanded to "hate evil" (Psalm 97:10)
• Biblical hatred isn't personal malice but righteous alignment with God's character
• True discipleship means loving what God loves and hating what God hates
