Hate and Lawlessness are Real Concerns in the Bible and Our World Today, We Must Overcome All Hate and Lawlessness with Love!

 

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

~Proverbs 10:12

“1 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.”

~Philippians 2:1-2

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

~1 John 3:4

Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.

~Matthew 24:12

Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

~1 John 3:15

 “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.”

~Philippians 2:3-4

We need to love everyone! We need to be loving and respectful of all. We need to obey God's commandments, the teachings of Jesus, be people of law and order and of goodwill.  There are a lot of Bible verses about hate and lawlessness, I posted a few above, it is shocking to see so much about this in the Bible. Today there is just too much hate in our world. Too much indifference, people are full of hate, anger, and even deranged sometimes. I do not understand all the hate. It saddens me. I guess these people lack God, Jesus, or delf-dignity. Hate has no room in any of our lives, but unfortunately today, we see so much of it. If you are a law and order person, it is hard to live in this country and world now. We live in such a lawless and selfish world, people only care about themselves. They do not respect rules, laws, or why we have them to protect all people. I see it daily, with people breaking rules at the gym with cellphones, etc. At the beach you see dogs, smoking, alcohol, fishing, all rules against things like this at the beach, but people have to be selfish and break the laws and do what they want. We have even gotten to the point where no one even comes to a complete stop when they drive anymore, they yield and rush in front of you forcing you to stop when they were supposed to. We live in a very selfish society. Lawless, and so many people filled with hate. When you call someone on their lawlessness, selfishness, you get hate from them. They make a lot of excuses and will not accept their own poor behavior, like it is their right or they are entitled to just break the rules or be selfish and not think of others or the rules for all of us. It is sad times. The Bible reminds us about this and it is clear where we need to be and what we need to do. Our lives and how we live them have consequences. I was reading my Bible book with Edgar Casey and it is clear what he says, that hate it the anti-Christ. I see it today, so much hate. I just never understood the hate toward President Trump, the conservatives, for law and order, for Christians and Catholics, it is so odd, it befuddles me. Hate is wrong, it is tearing at the heart of our country and its people. Love is all that matters. I love the quote by Martin Luther King Jr here, he is my hero, he really had a grasp on all of this and saw all the hate too and knew what the solution was. We must listen, talk, discuss, hear others points of views, not just cancel, dismiss, or hate someone for another view point. The Anti-Christ is alive and well with its hate, consuming so many. We all need to be careful not to join that bandwagon of hate. It is so destructive. We need to turn all hate into love!
