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.
Seven Things That God Hates
1. A proud look
God
wants us to look on others with humility. Everyone proud in heart is an
abomination to the Lord - Proverbs 16:5. The one who has a haughty look and a
proud heart, Him I will not endure - Psalm 101:5.
2. A lying tongue
God
hates a lying tongue. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who
deal truthfully are His delight - Proverbs 12:22. Let us always speak the truth.
3. Hands that shed innocent blood
We should never hate
anyone. Anyone who hates a brother or
sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing
in him - 1 John 3:15.
4. A heart that devises wicked plans
God
desires our heart to be pure. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked; Who can know it? - Jeremiah 17:9. Keep your heart with all diligence, for
out of it spring the issues of life - Proverbs 4:23.
5. Feet that are swift in running to
evil
Resist
evil and do good to all. You who love the Lord, hate evil - Psalm 97:10. Walk
in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh - Galatians 5:16.
6. A false witness who speaks lies
God hates false
testimonies. Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, Him I will
destroy - Psalm 101:5.
7. One who sows discord among
brethren
God wants us to promote unity instead
of divisions. Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and
offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them - Romans 16:7.
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity - Psalm 133:1.
Let us offer our
life to God as a pleasing sacrifice.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Keep us from
falling into these sins which You hate. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
