What Does Hate Look Like According to God's Word

In the previous post, I wrote about what love looks like, now we will look at what hate looks like.

Have you ever wondered what hate looks like? God tells us in His Word, we don't have to guess.

1 John 4:20

If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Proverbs 10:12

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

1 John 3:15

"Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."

Proverbs 6:16-19

"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."

Leviticus 19:17-18

"You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."
