經文: 「你們愛耶和華的，都當恨惡罪惡。」（詩篇九十七：10）

你有十足的理由恨惡罪惡，想想它所帶給你的傷害有多大！它弄瞎你的心眼，使你看不到救主的榮美；它使你的耳朵發沈，聽不到救主溫柔的呼喚與邀請；它引誘你走邪路，進入罪惡的網罪；它使你的心地歪曲乖僻，使得「人心比萬物都詭詐。」（耶十七：9）你如同別人一樣，是憤怒之子，隨著眾人行惡事。
我們原本是如此，但「如今你們奉主耶穌基督的名，並藉著我們上帝的靈已經洗淨，成聖稱義了。」（林前六：11）回顧過去的惡行，我們實對罪惡的影響力深惡痛絕，若不是全能救主的主動尋找拯救，我們真不知要迷失漂流到幾時。
現在，仇敵仍像吼叫的獅子，到處尋找可吞吃的對象。所以，基督們！要起來抵擋罪惡、恨惡罪惡，除非你想惹禍上身。讓我們走在正路上。過著平安敬虔的生活，直到離世的日子。若你真正愛救主，必喜愛真理，恨惡罪惡。若你常與耶穌同在，就不可能與世界為友，也不會與罪惡妥協。

Scripture: “Ye that love the Lord hate evil.”(Psalm 97:10)

Thou hast good reason to “hate evil,” for only consider what harm it has already wrought thee. Oh, what a world of mischief sin has brought into thy heart! Sin blinded thee so that thou couldst not see the beauty of the Saviour; it made thee deaf so that thou couldst not hear the Redeemer's tender invitations. Sin turned thy feet into the way of death, and poured poison into the very fountain of thy being; it tainted thy heart, and made it “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.” Oh, what a creature thou wast when evil had done its utmost with thee, before divine grace interposed! Thou wast an heir of wrath even as others; thou didst “run with the multitude to do evil.” Such were all of us; but Paul reminds us, “but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” We have good reason, indeed, for hating evil when we look back and trace its deadly workings. Such mischief did evil do us, that our souls would have been lost had not omnipotent love interfered to redeem us. Even now it is an active enemy, ever watching to do us hurt, and to drag us to perdition. Therefore “hate evil,” O Christians, unless you desire trouble. If you would strew your path with thorns, and plant nettles in your death-pillow, then neglect to “hate evil:” but if you would live a happy life, and die a peaceful death, then walk in all the ways of holiness, hating evil, even unto the end. If you truly love your Saviour, and would honour him, then “hate evil.” We know of no cure for the love of evil in a Christian like abundant intercourse with the Lord Jesus. Dwell much with him, and it is impossible for you to be at peace with sin.

“Order my footsteps by thy Word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.”
