Why? Because the American church has mainly only heard about the love of God. We even have false prophets today (and some in very large churches and on television) that is propagating that the only thing we need to know about God is that He is love. We are like what Hosea the prophet said about Ephraim "is a cake unturned." (Hosea 7:8). We are a fully baked cake on the love of God and that is good. But if we fail to "be turned" to the wrath and hate of God, then we stand in judgment of that loving God for being "unturned."
Let us be quick to say, "God is love." (I John 4:8). And God loves us and thank God that He does. But most in our churches do not know the true God who not only loves people but also hates people and their sin.
"Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated." is what Paul wrote in Romans 9: 13.
We will examine this tonight in our study of Psalm 5: 5 as the writer says, "You hate all workers of iniquity." Verse 6 - "The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man."
Due to the Auditorium being used tonight, the Adults will meet in the Locker Room at 6:10 for our Bible Study. See you there.
