Hating Sin

When we are truly sorry for our sinfulness we hate the sin so much we want to be permanently cleansed from it. As we grow in holiness we are not sinless but we do sin less as one preacher framed it.
Sin is repugnant to those who desire to obey Christ Who lives in them. We don't usually want to do the things that disgust us or know will harm us in the long run.
Psalm 97:10
"O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked."
Romans 12:9
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good."
1 John 3:9
"No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God."
