I Hate Sin Because Of God

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity did I not hide. Psalm 32.5.

How many feel sorrowful after they have sinned? If people do not feel sorrowful, this indicates that they have failed in the matter of confessing sin. But if any Christian will clear up his sins against God and men with confession, he will proceed well in the course which is before him. He will walk faster than other Christians. How sad that many believers have too little sensitivity toward sin.

I am surprised at finding people sleeping soundly and eating well after they have committed sins. Our God hates sin. I hate sin not because of saving face or fear of its consequence, but because of God. In order to sharpen their sensitivity toward sin, let Christians confess their sins. I can say at the very least that confessing sin will help us to hate sin.
