1 | Romans 12:9-14 - love the evil? | Rom 12:14 | meusing | 152027 | ||
Hi, I think you are confusing an attribute (evil) and a person (who does evil). We are to hate evil, but love the person. I believe that when it says that we are to have the mind of Christ, our heats (like His) are to break over the person who is doing the evil. This is why we are to bless the person - to pray that he or she to be released from the evil. So, we are to hate the evil, but love the person who does the evil against us. To pray that they will come to realization of the pain they are giving God, and repent and come to Jesus so they will have peace. If a person who does evil is converted he is then your brother in Christ. This is what we pray for. 2 Cor 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Cor 5:18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 2 Cor 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Cor 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. just my meusings |

Dear Meusing, thank you very much for your answer. I admit I equalled the attribute with the person it describes (as we often do?). Thanks a lot for clarifying this and opening my eyes on this! Christian |
