God’s Reason for Hating Sin...

You could read this 10 times and still miss this. God is angry at the consequences of sin. When He sees people in sorrow, weeping and distraught over the death of a loved one (sin’s ultimate consequence), His righteous indignation is naturally aroused. Here we see Jesus’ anger well up when he sees Mary weeping and her entourage of mourners. It culminated with Jesus weeping. When people say Christians worship a tyrant, self-centered, ruthless, heartless Being, I would beg to differ. They certainly don’t know the God of the Bible. I serve a compassionate, loving, and righteous God. His will is for our best. I just wish others would see this. Maybe it would change the world, matter-of-fact, it would, one heart at a time. God hates sin so much, not only because it’s in direct opposition to His will, but also because He knows it’s detrimental effects on humanity. I side with God on this matter, regardless of what people say.

33 When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within Him, and He was deeply troubled. 34 “Where have you put him?” He asked them.They told Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Then Jesus wept. 36 The people who were standing nearby said, “See how much He loved him!” 37 But some said, “This man healed a blind man. Couldn’t He have kept Lazarus from dying?”38 Jesus was still angry as He arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. 39 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them.But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”40 Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” 41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank You for hearing Me. 42 You always hear Me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe You sent Me.”43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” John 11:33-44
