TO UNDERSTAND THE MERCY, GRACE, JUSTIFICATION, FORGIVENESS OF GOD, WE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND SIN - AND HENCE WHY WE NEED MERCY, GRACE, FORGIVENESS. UNDERSTANDING SIN #10 REPUGNANT TO THE RIGHTEOUS Gen. 39:7. And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Deut. 7:26. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Job 1:1. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job 21:16. Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. Job 22:18. Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. Psa. 26:5. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 9. Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody men. Psa. 84:10. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. Psa. 101:3. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4. A froward heart shall depart from me. I will not know a wicked person. 7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. Psa. 119:104. Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. (v. 126.] 113. I hate vain thoughts: I but thy law do I love. 163. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Psa. 120:2. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 5. Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! 6. My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. Psa. 139:19. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20. For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee ? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22. I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. Prov. 8:13. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Prov. 29:27. An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked. Jer. 9:2. Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them, for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. Rom. 7:15. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 19. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not that I do. 23. But I see another I law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24. O wretched man that I am I who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 2 Pet. 2:7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds). Jude 23. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Rev. 2:2. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them. .......... YES THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL THEIR HEART, LIFE, AND MIND, WILL HATE ALL THAT IS SIN AND EVIL AND UNRIGHTEOUS. THEY WILL WATCH THEMSELVES; THEY WILL WATCH THE COMPANY THEY SPEND THEIR TIME WITH; THEY WILL STAY AWAY FROM, NOT GET CLOSE IN FRIENDSHIP WITH THOSE WHO ARE EVIL AND PERVERSE OF MOUTH, BODY, AND MIND. THOSE WHO LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL WATCH WHAT THEY READ AND VIEW; THEY WILL WANT TO MEDITATE AND THINK ON THAT WHICH IS HOLY, JUST, AND GOOD. THOSE WHO LOVE TRUTH AND HOLINESS, WILL AT TIMES SIGH AND CRY (EVEN LITERAL TEARS) FOR ALL THE ABOMINATIONS THAT ARE AROUND THEM. YES THIS IS THE MIND-SET OF THE RIGHTEOUS MEN AND WOMEN OF THE LORD.
