Daily Bread #626 - "Proper Reactions"
(9) Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
Romans 12:9 - NASB
Textual Insight:
Throughout his epistles, Paul consistently stressed the importance of love. In this text, he reminded the church that love must be sincere, active, and without hypocrisy. Furthermore, he stated that it's not good enough to merely cling to good things; we must also strongly detest (hate) ungodly behaviors and activities. Brethren, our love of the right things must be active and pure and our distain for evil things should be just as active. If we're not careful, we begin to go through the motions and live passively. Instead, we must actively display both our unfeigned love of good and our vehement disapproval of evil.
Sincerely,
Chris Threatt
