How Much Of Our Hatred Is Real? How Much Of Our Hatred Is A Lie We Are Being Told?

The devil is stirring up all kinds of trouble in America. Black people think that white people hate them. White people think that black people hate them. Some people think that everyone hates them. Others think that if you show passages from the Scriptures showing that homosexuality is wrong, you are saying that you hate them.

Don't get me wrong. There is a lot of hatred going around. But just how much of that is real?

We see this in marriage relationships as well. The wife listens to the voice that says her husband hates her or would rather be married to someone else. The husband takes things the wife does, as personally against him. How much is true of this and how much of it are just lies from the Enemy of our Souls?

The Bible says that the Enemy comes to 'steal, kill, and destroy'. He wants to destroy the relationships we have with others, while we are on earth. He wants to steal our joy from us. He will take advantage of us at every point he can.

The problem is, that we haven't learned to separate the truth from the lies.

The only way we can do this, is by knowing God's word inside and out, and getting to know what is on God's heart.

I do think that there are problems in relationships, whether they be racial conflict or marital problems. The question is, how much of what we perceive as hatred, is really a lie from the devil?

The cure is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We all need new hearts, hearts filled with God's love instead of vengeful hate. We can have hearts of love when we repent of our sins, turn away from our sins, and turn to God, trusting in what His Son did for us, when He died on the Cross, around 2,000 years ago. He was buried and He rose from the dead on the Third day after He was killed. God placed all our sins on Him, and He bore the wrath of God for us. He never sinned. We can have this resurrection power in our lives, when we turn to Him, and trust in Him to save us from our sins.

We need the love of God in our hearts. We can turn in our old, selfish heart and receive the new one He will give us. Imagine if everyone had this heart of love for one another. That is what it will be like in heaven, one day.
