How to Love Like Jesus: Part 6
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and consider what we truly hate. The core lesson revolves around Romans 12:9, urging us to 'hate what is wrong' while genuinely loving others. We're reminded that Jesus himself hated certain things - not people, but destructive behaviors and false teachings. This insight invites us to reflect on our own lives: Are we passively accepting things we should despise? The message emphasizes that hating sin while loving the sinner is crucial for our spiritual growth. It's a call to action, encouraging us to stand firm against worldliness and compromise, much like Jesus did with the Nicolaitans in Revelation. This teaching is deeply relevant, pushing us to evaluate our choices, the media we consume, and the examples we set for others. It's a wake-up call to live authentically, avoiding hypocrisy and embracing a faith that actively opposes evil while extending love and mercy to all.
