Our Hatred Of God Is Rooted In Our Sin Nature
Proverbs 29:10. From God's perspective we either love Him or hate Him. When we put things above God and do things that displease Him, our sin nature is telling God we hate Him and hate anything that is of His righteous. Our hating of God's righteousness is most obvious when righteousness gets in the way of us enjoying our sin. We can get quite an attitude and even get quite bloodthirsty when someone righteously reminds us that we should not be sleeping around, or we should not eat so much, or we should not smoke, or we should not gossip, or we should not hate someone of another race.
PROVERBS 29 BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 29:10, "The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul."
