Why does God hate sin?

Answered in 1 source

God hates sin because it opposes His holy nature and brings judgment upon creation (Hebrews 10:12).

The nature of God is holy, and sin is in direct opposition to His holiness. Hebrews 10:12 illustrates this by highlighting that Christ's sacrifice was necessary to atone for sin, which shows the seriousness of sin in the eyes of God. The judgment we see in the world today is a reminder of the consequences of sin. God cannot overlook sin; His justice requires that sin be punished. This understanding fosters a greater appreciation for the grace offered through Christ, as He bore the penalty of sin that we rightly deserve. Recognizing God's hatred of sin helps us grasp the depth of His love in providing a means of redemption through Jesus.
