Verse of the day: “Do you love justice and abhor wickedness. ?(Psalm 45. 7)
“Be angry and not sin? (Ephesians 4:26). There can be no good in a man if he does not feel anger against sin. He who loves the truth must hate every way there is. How our Lord hated iniquity, when it temptation came upon him! Three times she attacked him, in different ways. Yet He confronted him with? Arreda, Satan? (Matthew 16:23; Mark 8:33). Our Lord hated iniquity when temptation came upon others. He showed His I hate more with tears of mercy than with words of rebuke. But what words could be more severe than the words of our Lord to the Pharisees: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour the houses of widows and , to justify Do you make long sentences? (Matthew 23. 14. )? The Lord so hated iniquity that He shed His blood on the cross to destroy it. He died for her to die. He was buried so that he could bury him in his tomb and rose again to annihilate iniquity forever. Christ is in the gospel and the gospel opposes evil in all its forms. Iniquity dresses in fine clothes and imitates the language of holiness. But the precepts of Jesus, as well as his famous short whip, drive iniquity out of the temple and do not tolerate it in the Church. So also in the heart where Jesus reigns, what a war there is between Christ and Belial! When our Redeemer becomes the judge, these thunderous words: “Depart from me, you accursed one? (Matthew 25:41), which are actually a continuation of the teaching he gave about sin on earth, will show how He hates the evil”. . Your love for sinners is as warm as your hatred for sin. Just as the righteousness of our Lord is perfect, so will the destruction of all forms of iniquity be complete. O glorious Champion of holiness and Destroyer of iniquity, therefore, your God, has God anointed you with the oil of joy, like none of your companions? (Psalm 45. 7).
