Psalm 97:10
You who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the souls of His saints;
He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.

Application:

God is love (1 John 4:8). However, there are seven things He hates:

“These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 6:16-19

Those who love God and are called according to His purposes (Romans 8:28), His Saints, must stand against evil and everything that opposes the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

In light of God’s sovereign rule and judgment over the wicked, those who love Him must hate evil and obey Him. God will position them to experience His delivering power as He rescues them from the grasp of the wicked (97:10). Such knowledge brings light to the hearts of the righteous, allowing them to view things from God’s perspective (97:11).

While Jesus Christ was with us, He was the light of the world (John 8:12). Now, we who follow Him—His Saints who obey His commandments—are the light of the world, and that light shines into the darkness to expose evil deeds (Ephesians 5:10-12, Matthew 5:14-16).

Let us make Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior today and obey Him!

To God, be the glory!

Our Lord Jesus Christ created everything! By Him, For Him!

“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-25
