God Hates the Sin and the Sinner - Tim Conway
-
0:00 - 0:02Proverbs 6.
-
0:02 - 0:05"There are six things that the Lord hates,
-
0:05 - 0:07seven that are an abomination to Him."
-
0:07 - 0:08And you know what two of them are.
-
0:08 - 0:11It's not just the acts of wickedness.
-
0:11 - 0:13It's "a false witness."
-
0:13 - 0:15God says, I hate, I abominate
-
0:15 - 0:18"a false witness who breathes out lies
-
0:18 - 0:22and one who sows discord among brothers."
-
0:22 - 0:25Somebody who's divisive, God hates them.
-
0:25 - 0:26Not just what they do.
-
0:26 - 0:29Scripture says, "them."
-
0:29 - 0:35You can't go but six
chapters into your Bible, -
0:35 - 0:38and what happens?
-
0:38 - 0:43God kills every man, woman, and child
-
0:43 - 0:45on the face of the earth
-
0:45 - 0:50except eight souls.
-
0:50 - 0:57God hates not just the sin.
-
0:57 - 1:00You know, years ago,
-
1:00 - 1:07we had a tract that showed the ark.
-
1:07 - 1:13Lightning, dark clouds,
the rain is falling. -
1:13 - 1:16And there are men and women desperate
-
1:16 - 1:18as the waters are rising
-
1:18 - 1:21trying to get into the ark.
-
1:21 - 1:24And on the side of it is a smiley face
-
1:24 - 1:29that says, "Smile. God loves you."
-
1:29 - 1:33That tract was not made to be funny.
-
1:33 - 1:39It was made to show how foolish
-
1:39 - 1:43so much of modern-day evangelism is.
-
1:43 - 1:45When you go out into this world
-
1:45 - 1:46and you tell people to smile
-
1:46 - 1:49because God loves them...
-
1:49 - 1:53Look, what Scripture tells us
-
1:53 - 1:59is that all of mankind
are children of wrath. -
1:59 - 2:03We are objects of the hatred of God
-
2:03 - 2:06by nature.
-
2:06 - 2:09We don't deserve His love.
-
2:09 - 2:11God could say this:
-
2:11 - 2:15Noah have I loved,
-
2:15 - 2:19and the rest of the world I hated.
-
2:19 - 2:21You see, we get stirred up -
-
2:21 - 2:23Paul expects people to get stirred up
-
2:23 - 2:26just when it's "Jacob have I loved
-
2:26 - 2:29and Esau have I hated."
-
2:29 - 2:33Just one and one.
-
2:33 - 2:36God's love. God's hatred.
-
2:36 - 2:40But what about when God
takes the whole world -
2:40 - 2:42and His hatred is expressed
-
2:42 - 2:44and He wipes them all out?
-
2:44 - 2:46And He saves but eight souls?
-
2:46 - 2:48This is the kind of God we have.
-
2:48 - 2:49And let me tell you something,
-
2:49 - 2:52when He wiped out Sodom and Gomorrah,
-
2:52 - 2:53He has Peter tell us
-
2:53 - 2:56He brought them to extinction.
-
2:56 - 2:58He turned them to ashes
-
2:58 - 3:01as an example of what is going to happen
-
3:01 - 3:06to the ungodly now.
-
3:06 - 3:08He spared Lot.
-
3:08 - 3:10This is all through Scripture.
-
3:10 - 3:12Lot have I loved,
-
3:12 - 3:16Sodom and Gomorrah have I hated.
-
3:16 - 3:21This is all over.
-
3:21 - 3:25When the Lord hates somebody,
-
3:25 - 3:28in Paul's estimation, it's not injustice.
-
3:28 - 3:31Is there is injustice with God? Why?
-
3:31 - 3:33Because Esau was hated.
-
3:33 - 3:35He said, "by no means."
-
3:35 - 3:40God said, "I will have mercy
-
3:40 - 3:43upon whom I will have mercy,
-
3:43 - 3:44and I will have compassion..."
-
3:44 - 3:46Remember this,
-
3:46 - 3:48mercy.
-
3:48 - 3:50If you get justice
-
3:50 - 3:52and you get what your sins deserve,
-
3:52 - 3:54it is the full, all-out, deep wrath
-
3:54 - 3:57and hatred and indignation and fury,
-
3:57 - 4:00fierce anger of God,
-
4:00 - 4:02and that is what mankind deserves
-
4:02 - 4:03and we don't think so,
-
4:03 - 4:04and we have to be reminded
-
4:04 - 4:05over and over of this,
-
4:05 - 4:08and this is the reason why
I wanted to go back to it. -
4:08 - 4:11Brethren, what stock do we come from?
-
4:11 - 4:14We were children of wrath
-
4:14 - 4:18like the rest of mankind.
-
4:18 - 4:22Paul says it is no injustice on God's part
-
4:22 - 4:25for Him to hate Esau.
-
4:25 - 4:29Why? Because it's not unjust.
-
4:29 - 4:30It's just.
-
4:30 - 4:32That means it's right.
-
4:32 - 4:35It is right for God to hate sinners.
-
4:35 - 4:37And you can be sure of this,
-
4:37 - 4:38if God hates somebody,
-
4:38 - 4:41it's precisely because
they're hate-worthy. -
4:41 - 4:43If God abominates somebody,
-
4:43 - 4:46it's because they're abominable.
-
4:46 - 4:48If God is offended by somebody
-
4:48 - 4:50it's because they're offensive.
-
4:50 - 4:52That is the reality, brethren.
-
4:52 - 4:57God is not unjust to hate mankind.
-
4:57 - 5:00Because mankind is a hateful thing
-
5:00 - 5:01by nature.
-
5:01 - 5:03It ought to be hated.
-
5:03 - 5:05Evil people ought to be hated
-
5:05 - 5:08by a good and a holy God.
-
5:08 - 5:11That is only right.
-
5:11 - 5:12God hated mankind.
-
5:12 - 5:15He wiped out mankind in the flood.
-
5:15 - 5:18Why? Because those people
-
5:18 - 5:22were such character that it demanded
-
5:22 - 5:24that they be wiped out.
-
5:24 - 5:26Justice demanded it.
-
5:26 - 5:29God only damns those who are damnable.
-
5:29 - 5:31But that's all of mankind.
There are no exceptions. -
5:31 - 5:33You can read there in Romans 3.
-
5:33 - 5:35There's none righteous.
-
5:35 - 5:37And in case we thought, well,
there might be an exception: -
5:37 - 5:40No, not one.
-
5:40 - 5:43Boy, we have to be reminded,
-
5:43 - 5:48reminded over and over.
-
5:48 - 5:51You know, we just have this sense
-
5:51 - 5:54that the world - we don't feel it.
-
5:54 - 5:55We don't feel it.
-
5:55 - 5:57We don't hear the thunder all the time
-
5:57 - 6:00and see the dark clouds.
-
6:00 - 6:02But like Pilgrim in Pilgrim's Progress,
-
6:02 - 6:05he recognized there is a storm.
-
6:05 - 6:07There is destruction.
-
6:07 - 6:10It's coming. It's on
the horizons out there. -
6:10 - 6:13But we have to be brought back.
-
6:13 - 6:16We have to be reminded.
-
6:16 - 6:19Brethren, by nature,
-
6:19 - 6:21we were children of wrath.
-
6:21 - 6:25Children of God's hatred.

- God Hates the Sin and the Sinner - Tim Conway
- Description:
-
It's a very unpopular thought to consider that God hates sinners. But this is how a holy God feels about those who live in rebellion against Him. And we must remember this: if God hates a person, it's precisely because that person is hate-worthy.
