You cannot hate and be a Christian. Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and most important command. And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.”

If you claim that God is your Father, then love will be your very nature because 1st John 4:7-8 says, “Dear friends, we should love each other because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has become God’s child. And so everyone who loves knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God because God is love.”

There are a whole lot of people who confess God is their Father but hate. They say, “I don’t hate the person, I hate the sin!” But they don’t really know how to do that. Everyone is guilty, even me. But guess what? God loves us all; the rapist, the murderer, the gay, the Muslims, the lost, the found, the black, the white, the liar, the abuser, the lawyer, the politicians.

Jesus died for all sin and all sinners. It was a gift God gave us, His Son, to die for our past, present, and future sins. The ONLY thing we must do is this; Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, and your house! That’s it! Then, He sends the Holy Spirit to do the clean-up work and leads us into the truth. Not for you to take on the role of the Holy Spirit! But to love so that He can do His perfect work in us.

Love covers, it doesn’t expose! So do your part in the love game. Pray for one another so that you might be saved because what you do to others will come back to you.
