The Bible lists seven things God hates, including pride, lying, murder, wicked schemes, eagerness to do evil, bearing false witness, and causing division among believers (Proverbs 6:16-19). These sins are serious in God’s eyes, even if the world overlooks some of them. Christians are called to avoid these behaviors, love God wholeheartedly, and live faithfully for eternal salvation.

Did you know there aresome things God hates?
There are.
The Bible says so.
Hi, David Hill.
Got a minute?
"Six things the Lord hates. Yes, sevenare an abomination to Him: a proud
look, a lying tongue, hands that shedinnocent blood, a heart that devises
wicked plans, feet swift to run to evil,a false witness, one who sows discord
(00:21):
among the brethren" (Proverbs 6:16-19).
If God hates it, I'dbetter stay away from it.
Ought to capture ourattention, shouldn't it?
But it seems like it doesn't always do so.
We live in a culture thatseems to glorify lying.
Remember friend, God hates a lie,and the Bible says all liars are
going to hell (Revelation 21:8).
Seventh in Solomon's list (00:43):
one who sows discord among the brethren.
Sinful trouble in the Lord'schurch, dividing the body of
Christ, is a very serious problem.
Most seem to understand the wrongof murder, but God places a proud
look, lying tongue, and dividerof the church on the same list
with one who sheds innocent blood.
(01:06):
Where do these sins come from?
The devil, who is thefather of it, Jesus said.
Things God hates—I don't wantto be involved in those, and
I don't think you do either.
Love the Lord with all your heart.
Live for Him all your lifeand be saved eternally.
That's the gospel.
