day no. 16,565: there is no hyperbole for His hatred of sin

Thou hatest wickedness. ― Psalm 45:7

"'Be ye angry, and sin not.' There can hardly be goodness in a man if he be not angry at sin; he who loves truth must hate every false way. How our Lord Jesus hated it when the temptation came! Thrice it assailed him in different forms, but ever he met it with, 'Get thee behind me, Satan.' He hated it in others; none the less fervently because he showed his hate oftener in tears of pity than in words of rebuke; yet what language could be more stern, more Elijah-like, than the words, 'Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer.' He hated wickedness, so much that he bled to wound it to the heart; he died that it might die; he was buried that he might bury it in his tomb; and he rose that he might forever trample it beneath his feet. Christ is in the Gospel, and that Gospel is opposed to wickedness in every shape. Wickedness arrays itself in fair garments, and imitates the language of holiness; but the precepts of Jesus, like his famous scourge of small cords, chase it out of the temple, and will not tolerate it in the Church. So, too, in the heart where Jesus reigns, what war there is between Christ and Belial! And when our Redeemer shall come to be our Judge, those thundering words, 'Depart, ye cursed' which are, indeed, but a prolongation of his life-teaching concerning sin, shall manifest his abhorrence of iniquity. As warm as is his love to sinners, so hot is his hatred of sin; as perfect as is his righteousness, so complete shall be the destruction of every form of wickedness. O thou glorious champion of right, and destroyer of wrong, for this cause hath God, even thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

The Son has a hot hatred of sin. He died to kill it. He rose in order to trample upon it. God hates sin. It is so bad that someone has to die and it will either be you in your own place for your own sins or Him in your place for your sins; but either way, someone is going to have to pay. God does not wink at wickedness. He does not renege on His wrath. He doesn't blow things out of proportion only to repent of it as hyperbole after the fact. Christ's contempt for sin was cataloged in His crucifixion. Calvary confirms that it impossible to exaggerate His hatred of evil. The Father's refusal to heed to Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane assures us that there was no other way. Nothing else could succor. There is no hyperbole for His hatred of sin. You cannot find words that go too far. You cannot overstate His hate. The Son has a white hot hatred for the gates of hell and they will not prevail against His heat. Nothing could prepare them for the rising of the Son.

And that being said, it is all because you cannot fathom His love. His love of sinners exceeds His hatred of sin, which is why Christ lived and died for sinners.

Romans 8:31-32

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

God loves us more than He hates sin. And considering how much He hates sin as we've been discussing, consider just how much He loves you.
