2 | Does God Hate the Sinner? | Ps 5:5 | Robert Nicholson | 64423 | ||
Goodmorning Arise 514 In this psalm the Psalmist seems to make absolute contrasts between the righteous and the wicked. In verse 4 "For thou art not a God who hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee" In v. 5 which you have quoted "thou hatest all workers of iniquity. If I were to take this verse in isolation then I could say God hates certain people. However, when I think of other verses which show me that God deeply loves each person, each soul. I know there is no contradiction in scripture. I think in Psalm 5 we see the righteous indigination of a Holy God with those who persist in wickedness. God's hatred is never malicious. In verse 9 of Psalm 5 we read words similar to Romans 3 where we see a picture of all humans who are not saved. In Psalm 7:11 "God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day" The sin who those who remain as enemies of God is as a stench to him every day. Paul writes "Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Romans 5:20 In Romans 3: 9-18 we are given a picture of humans in their natural condition as God sees them. In v. 19 we read that the law was given to show us how exceedingly sinful we are and that we might realize our guilt before God. More wonderful, we find that even when we were totally unloveable and enemies of God by our sin, that "Christ died for the ungodly" Romans 5:6 Does this not show us the depths of love which God has for each individual? and remind us of John 3:16 "For God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". I believe that God is holy and righeous and cannot tolerate sin to any degree. However, God is love and this is seen in what he was willing to do to provide a basis upon which a holy God can forgive guilty sinners and we know that this was to send his Son into this world to become a sacrifice once and for all for sin and as such we who were enemies of God can be brought neigh to him through the precious blood of Christ. Those are a few of my thoughts God bless Robert |
