“Adonai tests the righteous; but He hates the wicked and the lover of violence.”
Psalm 11:5 CJB
God tests us not because He is mad at us or wants to punish us, but because He loves us! Testing is a great way for us to learn and grow in Him. In fact, that’s how we grow in Adonai!
“dear friends, don’t regard as strange the fiery ordeal occurring among you to test you, as if something extraordinary were happening to you.”
1 Peter 4:12 CJB
So testing is part of our walk with Adonai! Now understand as far as wickedness and violence go, basically sinning. We need to be real careful of saying things like God hates the sin, but loves the sinner! Understand that isn’t exactly true. God loves the repentant sinner, but the unrepentant sinner, according to this verse, and many others, God hates!
“He will rain hot coals down on the wicked, fire, sulfur and scorching wind will be what they get to drink.”
Psalm 11:6 CJB
Today, let’s be believers who share the Good News of Salvation with wicked people in the hope that they repent!
Have a blessed day sharing about Yeshua!
