What does the Bible say about the opposite of love?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the opposite of love is hate, which is characteristic of fallen humanity.

According to the teachings found in Titus 3:3, humanity, in its fallen state, is described as hateful and hating one another. This stark contrast highlights the transformation that occurs when one is regenerated by God's mercy. When we are born again, we are called to leave behind these destructive behaviors and embody love instead. While many may think of themselves as good without the love of God, the Scriptures declare that true love manifests only in those who are born of God (1 John 4:7). Thus, to hate is to deny the work of Christ in us, emphasizing that loving one another is essential to our identity as His followers.
