Christians hate every false way because it contradicts the truth of the gospel and leads people away from salvation.
The statement 'Therefore, I hate every false way' reflects the believer's deep love for the truth of God's word and the person of Christ. As explained in the sermon, loving the true inevitably leads to a hatred for false teachings that seek to rob God of His glory and mislead His people. False doctrines are not simply errors; they are serious threats to one's salvation as they misrepresent the gospel. True Christians recognize that only through rejecting falsehood can one preserve the integrity of the gospel, which affirms that salvation comes solely through faith in Christ. The passionate repudiation of false ways comes from a commitment to the truth and the desire to protect that which is sacred.
