Sin

These are ESV scriptures that show God hates sin.

GOD HATES SIN

Psalm 45:7 “you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.  Therefore God, your God, has anointed you  with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;”

Psalm 5:4 “For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.”

Hab 1:13 “You who are of purer eyes than to see evil and cannot look at wrong, why do you idly look at traitors and remain silent when the wicked swallows up the man more righteous than he?”

YOUR SIN CONDEMNS YOU

Rom 2:8-9 8 “but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,”

John 3:17-20 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed”
 
Rom 1:18 “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.”
 
Num 32:23 “But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out. “
 
Ecc 7:20 “ Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins. “
 
Job 15:6 “Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; your own lips testify against you. “
 
1 John 3:24 “Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,[a] and God[b] in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. “

 

 

GOD MUST PUNISH SIN

Pro 17:15 “He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.”

Rom 3:26 “It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”

 

YOUR SIN KILLED JESUS

Rom 4:25 “who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.”

Isa 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”

2 Cor 5:21 “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
