Life, 1Pe 3:10 The nation of Israel, Luk 7:5 He hates (New Testament) Father, Mother, Wife, Children, Brethren, Sisters, when he has to choose between those and Christ His own life, Luk 14:26

Sin, Rom 7:15 The deeds of the Nicolaitanes, Rev 2:6 Garments spotted by the flesh, Jude 1:23

Many more passages might be added to these lists, were those included which are commands of God as to love and hatred. Perhaps some who have been interested in the subject will look out such passages. For where the command is given, the answering love and hatred will assuredly be found in the new man, who is "renewed in knowledge after the image of Him who created him." Seven objects of love are thus commanded in the Old Testament, and more are added in the New Testament. The lists would thus be rendered more complete, both as regards love and hatred. May the Lord bring home to each heart before whom this subject is brought, the depth and reality of the wonderful work of redemption, by means of which a change so complete and so radical is effected in every believer in Jesus. isturkal auk.
