What does the Bible say about God's hatred for wickedness?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible states that God does not have pleasure in wickedness and hates all workers of iniquity (Psalm 5:4-5).
Psalm 5 clearly articulates God's intense disapproval of wickedness, asserting that He does not take pleasure in evil nor allows workers of iniquity to stand in His presence. This theme of God's abhorrence toward sin underscores the need for His righteousness. It is crucial for Christians to understand that God's justice and holiness compel Him to oppose all forms of evil. He does not view mankind as inherently good, but rather sees the sinful nature of all humanity, which is why He sent Christ to save us from our condition. Without this understanding of God's hatred for sin, one cannot appreciate the depth of His mercy and the gift of salvation through Jesus.
